Hi! Welcome to my blog. I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker. Today is the Scrapbooking Global February 2020 Blog Hop! The design team and friends have created pages to share with you using a wonderful sketch that team member, Sharon, provided. Let’s take a look at how I used the sketch.

Scrapbooking Global February 2020 Blog Hop

Our challenge / theme for the February hop
is to use this sketch.
And let me tell you, I am in love with it!!
So many fabulous possibilities!!

As usual, I have skipped the photo
and title/journaling.
I’ll come back and do that later.
Most of the time when scrapbooking, I prefer to create my pages
and come back later to add photos.
For me, it gives more freedom of creativity.

On the top half of the cardstock,
you’ll use the Crackle Paint background stamp in Pool Party.
It adds a nice, subtle texture.
Then, add the text stamp from Very Versailles in Smoky Slate.

At the mid-point, use a strip of Bird Ballad Designer Paper cut into a scallop at the bottom with a Seasonal Layers Die.
Over that, you will add Petal Pink cardstock cut with
the Braided Border Punch.
Then, add a layer of Woven Threads Trim.
Love that fun, fringed edge.

Next, add some large splatter with an Artisan Textures stamp.
And, create a tab with the medallion from Very Versailles.
Tip: You can use the number 9 Stitched So Sweetly Die – Chart HERE.

Use a Basic Pattern Decorative Mask to add some random texture.
Then add some copper splatter across the page.
With the the Poppy Moments Dies, create a multi-layered flower to accent your photo matte.

For you photo matte,
use layers of Bird Ballad Designer Paper.
Then, add an accent layer of Basic Black to make the whole page pop.

To finish the lower left of the page,
add more splotches with the Artisan Textures stamps.
Top those with some trailing leaves from Very Versailles.
And, embellish with the thread you pulled from the Woven Threads Trim.
Finally, matte the page on a piece of Bird Ballad Designer Paper.
