Progress

Sharing a layout I created that was inspired by Shimelle's Layer on Layer on Layer class. The story was inspired by Ali Edwards' Progress Story Stamp set.

I used a subtle ledger paper with a rainbow water color strip down the left side. I then used the colors from the strip to inform my ink choices.

I used a planner type stamp from Ali Edwards as well as some paint splatter stamps to create a colorful background using stamps. 

I really enjoyed this process, but struggled a bit when I went to put my journaling on sticker paper down realizing the text over text stamps were making it difficult to read. 

I was able to pull up the sticker paper a bit to add some white paint and water to blend the ink and "fix" the mistake. Out is definitely not perfect, but stamping rarely is.

A friend of mine that saw this layout commented that she found it funny I chose to use yellow splatters for potty training. This did not even cross my mind. The only color I tend to stay away from splattering is red so it won't look like a crime scene. Maybe I made that choice subconsciously, I don't know. 

Thanks for taking a look!
