Simple Stories Rustic Legend - Good Times

Hello!

Today on the blog I have a layout full of fun using the Simple Stories Rustic Legend collection.

Inspired by the stars in the ephemera and icons in this range, I decided to go whole hog and grab some dies to create a page bursting with colourful stars!

On top of my Premium White Cardstock, I first created an anchor for my design, cutting the ruler strips from the Level Up paper, tore them roughly in half and layered them across the centre of the page.

I also took a tyre track from the Bits & Pieces pack because these photos were taken during a recent US road trip.

My photo is made up of several images so is quite busy. I kept it simple by matting in plain black cardstock, helping lift it from the bold background. 

The the fun part! The stars!! Using nested star dies I cut different sized stars from the Low Key Awesome, Journal Elements (B side), Instant Classic (B side) and Be Bold papers (B side).

I scattered these at the top and bottom of my photo, layered and overlapping with adhesive foam to create a dimensional effect.

For extra interest, I also added star stickers from the Cardstock Stickers and punched some tiny stars from black cardstock to help the layout pop.

To fill the white space around my photo, I added a tag and a ticket from the Bits & Pieces. 

Along the top of the photo, I also added a small divider sticker from the Cardstock Sticker Basics.

For my title, I opted for the Good Times sticker from the Cardstock Sticker Basics, adding this alongside the rulers to blend it with the design.

Thank you for joining me on the blog today. I hope you've enjoyed seeing the layout. I'd highly recommend this collection and look forward to creating more soon! 

Happy scrapping!
