I used both sides of a sheet of Super Like for the background. I sliced off the top 4" of the sheet and flipped it round, then joined it back together with tape. I turned it back over and used the spotty white and black border sticker to cover the join.
I gently splattered black acrylic paint across the page...well I say gently....that was the intention! However I think I overloaded the brush or made the paint a little too wet....and this in turn made the splats a little larger than I had planned...it's all good though.
I also used some Distress Stains to make some large, brightly coloured splats. I chose Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Carved Pumpkin. I really enjoy using these inks...the harder you hit them on the page, the bigger and more impressive the splat! (my dress is testament to that!)
I had a rummage through my basketful of packs of AC Thickers and various other Alphabet stickers in my stash that I have collected over the years and settled for these black and white spotty ones to make my title. Then just added a little bit of handwritten journalling underneath...I really dislike my handwriting but sometimes feel its important to leave a little bit of *me* on my pages for when I am not about anymore....also my printer has broken!!
I matted my photos and then cut various elements from a few different sheets to scatter about the page. Some bits I layered up and over lapped. The sheets used were:
So that's my page. This collection is just so lovely, vibrant and fun and I have really enjoyed working with it. There is a vast selection of collections from Simple Stories in the shop....along with plenty of other delightful ranges and other products...pop along and treat yourself!
Happy Crafting!

lovely layout Anita. You were very brave creating those big paint/ink splats and they look great. 😯 x x
