Costa Brava | Sunkissed Layout | Anna Komenda

Hello everyone. It’s Anna here with another batch of jummy colors and fun images. All of that thanks to the amazig “Sunkissed” collection – tha brand new, summer line from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. You all know I can’t get enough of rainbows so I made another page with this theme. I always have some summer photos to scrapbook and this time I picked two taken during our vacation at Costa Brava in Spain.

I started with cloudy paper called “Just chillin” as my background. Next step was to cut out rainbow strips from “Bright side” sheet and glue them over the clouds using strips of foam tape. It’s quite clean and simple page with not so many elaborate layers and so easy to recreate.

I placed my two horizontal photos on the bottom of the rainbow with no extra layers of papers under them. I didn’t want to cover the rainbow and the page was already colorful enough. I only added some smaller tabs from Stickers Sheets. One of the new products, that appeared in “Sunkissed” collection is pack of flowers and leaves. You have so many colors and sizes to choose from and I added some of them over my rainbow, color on color.

Sun and clouds from Ephemera Pack matches my sky scenes perfectly. I glued them down using pieces of foam tape to add more dimension. I finished the layout by adding few enamel dots from some older collections, that I had in my stash. I love making mixed media pages but I am also a big fan of simle and clean layouts, that comes really quickly together and do not require any special skills and supplies. It’s so refreshing to just play with paper.

I decorated area around the photos with two woodies (my fav embellishment!!!) and a puffy sticker. I love combining different textures and materials of one page. And you? Are you a team “just paper” or “mixed media”? Or maybe you are like me, like to jump between those two. I noticed I tend to make plain paper pages when the collection is new to me and then move to mixed media ones when I am already running out of papers or embellishments and I need to be more creative to stretch my stash.

Thank you so much for stopping by and see you in two weeks.

XO Anna
