Carpe Diem! by Tammy Klingner

Hi everyone!   This week I'm sharing a layout I created using Simple Stories Carpe Diem.  This is a gorgeous range.  I love the bright, happy colours.  

  I chose to go with a white background as my photo was really bright.   I added watercolour to the background - I went with blue to go with the water in the photo, and added yellow as it was fresh and summery. I cut a few strips and attached these to the right hand side of the page.  Instead of layering papers behind my photo, I used a variety of chipboard frames from the range. I adore these!! I use frames often in my layouts, I love tucking them behind layers. But I think these may be my favourites!  

  I then added some 2Crafty Chipboard - I used both the messy heart, and the small mini hearts.  I painted them in matching colours to my layout. I then added a few embellishments.   That's about it! Quick, fun, and summery! See you next week.   Products used: Simple Stories Carpe Diem Chipboard Frames Simple Stories Carpe Diem Paper - Make it Happen Simple Stories Carpe Diem Paper - Pencil It in   Simple Stories Carpe Diem Icon Stickers Simple Stories Carpe Diem Planner Dashboard Inserts White Bazzill   2 Crafty Chipboard - Handrawn Frame Heart 2 Crafty Chipboard Tiny Hearts and Stars Prima Watercolor Pencils - The Basics Paint Transparent Gesso
