Carnac | Sunkissed Layout | Anna Komenda
Hello scrappy people! It’s Anna here with my newest page made with gorgeous “Sunkissed” collection. This time I used this line to scrapbook some travel related photos from our trip to Carnac menhirs. It was really hot day and there was almost no shadow on the site. Really hard conditions to appreciate neolithic stones but we managed to survive :) “Sunkissed” is filled with summer related items mostly but you can use for more travel vibe pages too. I benefited from colorful paper patterns by backing the cut file filled with words about travelling. With such a colorful bakcground, you didn’t need much of embellishing!
I started with putting my digital die cutting machine in use after few months of break. I forgot how fun is it to incorporate this kind of elements into the pages. Backing the words with various pattern papers like: “Growing wild“, “Sunny days“, “Just chillin“, “Fun in the sun“, “Feelin fine“, “Bright side” and paper stack went pretty quick. Harder part was deciding where I want my photos to be places. Whole paper is filled with titles so I knew I need to cover some of them.
I managed to squeeze the photos on top of one bigger word having the rest of them visible and easy to read. I added few smaller elements from ephemera pack around the pictures, with a small individual title on top of them. As this is more travel than summer themed page I only picked more generic ones, skipping beach items and exotic drinks :)
I filled empty spots between the words using clear stickers like colorful arrows and paint strokes. They work perfectly with white background. I also added few puffy stickers here and there and my favorite wooden buttons. Colorful pattern papers are the main star of the page and I didn’t want to overshadow them.
I just love the final result and possibilities “Sunkissed” collection gives. I love squeezing out as much as possible from the papers themselves and those simple and fun patters are just perfect. White background makes them really pop.
I am sure it’s not my last word when it comes to this amazing, colorful collection. I still have so many ideas! Thank you so much for stopping by and see you in June!
XO Anna
