Sweet Dreams

Hello and happy weekend! I have a new layout to share today! For this layout, I was inspired by this sketch from Sketches In Thyme:

I was also inspired by the "This or That" challenge at Paper Issues:

I started my layout by smooshing watered down gesso on my cardstock. I then splattered some gold spray ink over my page. I smooshed some of those spots as well for more texture. I had one more photo than the sketch, but I still managed to arrange them in a similar way. Once I had all of my patterned papers and photos arranged and attached, I went to work on the title. I used my Cricut to cut both words. After "sweet" was cut, I heat embossed it with gold powder to match the golds on my page. The word "dreams" was attached with foam adhesive for some dimension. I didn't have anything to say specifically about the photos, so I found a bible verse that talks about sleep and printed that on some vellum. A scattering of buttons and star sequins finished off the layout. From the Paper Issues list, I used stars, blue, button, circle, paperclip (it's the gold heart in the bottom right), sequins, and stripes.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my layout!
