The layout I am sharing today was inspired by Ali Edwards Friend Story Stamp.
In the Simple Scrapper community we had a challenge to find a video of a technique I wanted to try and use that technique as the starting point for a layout.
Knowing I wanted to use stamps, I knew a stamping video would be best. I found this YouTube video from Scrap Happy about stamping backgrounds.
If you look closely at my layout, you will notice that the background paper was stamped. I used a purple Vicki Boutin, Color Study paper and used the Story Stamps to create a pattern.
This is definitely a technique I will use again!
I wanted to use some new 49 and Market Stamp and die set of butterflies on this layout to make my own embellishments. It was fun to play with layering 2 different inks and adding a bit of water to the process to play with the look of them. Super versatile and fun set to use!
Love that I had the butterfly branding strip from a Vicki paper to use as well!
When collecting supplies for this layout, I realized I had quite a bit of friend themed supplies: thicker phrases, acrylic words, stickers, stamps and more! I thought these Heidi Swapp title stickers were the perfect color and sparkle for this layout!
I enjoyed making this layout, using some neglected things from my stash and telling this story!
Thanks for stopping by!
