CTMH Artbooking: Today is a Good Day

This layout was a great opportunity to capture the beautiful day we spent celebrating Mothers Day!  It was a gorgeous day and we enjoyed exploring the shops of Gruene, Texas, topped with a fabulous meal at the Grist Mill, yummm!

 

The Album Retreat version of this layout used floral stamps to random-stamp behind the chevron overlay.  I’m not much of a floral print kinda gal, so I switched it up and grabbed a different stamp set to play with…opted for the arrows!

 

Notice the Bronze Shimmer Trim…it adds just the right pop to give all these neutral colors a little zing!

Tips/Techniques:

·  Randomly stamp the base cardstock to create unique patterns

·  Use Cricut® Craft Room to adhere letters together and size them smaller for a longer title

·  Use the negative pieces of the overlay to create a border on the journaling tag

·  Combine multiple overlays cut into pieces for added dimension

·  Layer different colors of cardstock under the overlay to add detail to the background

·  Sponge over cork shapes to color them
