Playing with ink & finding beauty in the smudges

Rustic Beauty

This beautiful layout captures a feeling of rustic elegance. This beautiful 8½” x 11″ scrapbook layout uses a woodgrain background (similar to the Country Woods DPS) with a leaf stencil overlaid with texture paste which is very similar to Embossing Paste. The stamped image from the Stampin’ Up Layers of Beauty set has been die cut and fussy cut to create a dimensional floral arrangement. The sentiment “You make my heart smile” completes the layout.

This 8½” x 11″ layout is a great example of how to use a variety of techniques to create a stunning and eye-catching scrapbook page. The woodgrain background provides a rustic feel, while the leaf stencil and texture paste add a touch of dimension. The stamped flowers from the Stampin’ Up Layers of Beauty add a touch of elegance, and the sentiment is the perfect finishing touch.

Here are some additional tips for creating a similar layout:

  • Experiment with different techniques, such as heat embossing or use the shimmery white embossing paste.
  • Add journaling to your layout to tell the story behind your photos.
  • If you don’t have a leaf stencil, you can create your own by cutting out leaves from scrap paper or cut out using the Cricut like I did.
  • Add ink colours to your texture paste for more added colour.
  • Most importantly, have fun and be creative!

With a little creativity, you can create beautiful scrapbook layouts that will cherish for years to come.
