"Suntime"

Welcome to my Friday post, where I share a project that I've designed for 

Fresh Squeezed Stamps.

Today, I have a layout to share that I made using stamps from several different sets:
 Subway Series: Summer, You Said It, Sister & Breath of Fresh Flair
and Sketch #106 from Inspired Blueprints.

 

Here's my layout:

I decided to use some Echo Park patterned paper for my background, but wanted to add some stamping and inking to it. I stamped the polka dots from You Said It, Sister below my photo and then layered a title that I cut on my Silhouette over top, using dimensional adhesive.

 

To create a sunburst on my background, I used some post-it notes

and added some ink using a blending tool.

 

Using a masking technique, I stamped some of the words from the beach themed sentiment from Subway Series: Summer.

I stamped off the teal one a second time, slightly off from the first time,

to add a bit of a drop shadow.

 

To finish off my frame, I stamped the bird image from Breath of Fresh Flair and fussy cut out two of the birds.

I love this little detail, because the photos of Jonah and Sage perched on the back of the couch

remind me of birds perched on a wire.

Here's a close-up of my journaling:

Thanks for looking!
