Fabulous

Hello, I have one more layout to share from over Christmas. For this layout, I started with this sketch from Paper Issues:

I decided to turn it into a two page layout by flipping the sketch horizontally to make the second page. I started by using a hexagon mask on my background because I didn't was to cut a ton of hexagons. I did cut the big hexagons and some small hexagons with my Cricut. I layered the small ones over spots in my inking to add some interest. I stitched around the large hexagons for some texture and interest. To embellish the page, I used some die cut butterflies, stickers and fussy cut some speech bubbles from a sheet of patterned paper. At that point, I decided I wanted a few splatters around my page. As I was creating the splatters, I knocked over my bottle of spray ink! That is why there is a large splotch of ink in the center of my layout. After I had calmed down from being frustrated with myself for knocking over the bottle, I consulted my family (including the child whose book this is going in) and we decided that the large splatter looked okay and I didn't need to start over. I added a few more larger splatters to make it look a little more intentional. I will eventually replace the two photos the got ink on them, when I get them reprinted.
