Mintay Papers - Autumn Splendor - The Golden Hour

Hello, Karen here with another layout using papers and embelishments from the Autumn Splendor collection from Mintay Papers, and this time I have also teamed the collection with a sheet of paper from Echo Park's Woodgrain collection. 

This layout was inspired by an older sketch I found on Pinterest which was created for Scrapbook Werkstatt. I can't remember ever using triangles on a layout before but thought it was an interesting sketch and would work well with the supplies I have. 

I started but gutting the centre from a sheet of Echo Park's Warm Wood Grains - Tan Wood Grain paper and then layered an 11.5" piece of smooth white cardstock on top. Using some brown thread I machine stitched round the outside edge of the white cardstock.

Using my mini brayer I rolled some watered down Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Ink onto areas of the layout where I planned to added other elements and when the ink was dry I splatted some Spiced Marmalade ink on top. The Dried Marmalade ink was more yellow in colour than I had expected but I think it still works well with the layout, adding a bit of contrast to the orange and brown in the patterned papers.

From papers #2 & #4 I cut some triangles - 2 large and 4 small. I machine stitched round the edges of each triangle and then stuck them to the layout with 3D foam underneath.

In my stash I found some bronze metalic washi tape and tucked some torn pieces of this under the edges of some of the triangles.

My 4x6 photo was printed with a white border and this was placed on top of the triangles. I love the lighting in this photo - I think it gives the photo a real cosy feel.

From the leftover Echo Park Woodgrain paper, I die cut the title using a cut file on the Silhouette Cameo. The title was placed above the photo.

Paper die cuts and images fussy cut from paper #9 were used to embellish the layout, creating a cluster in the bottom left corner with some washi tape and on the corner of the photo.

Brown word strips were created and printed on the computer and placed below some of the triangles.

Finally I scattered a few bronze coloured sequins here and there and added the date with some tiny letter stickers.

Thank you for popping by today. I'll be back soon with another project and in the meantime, please take care.
