#Funtimes made for 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty Fans,

I'm back with a new layout to share with you guys. This time, I put myself a bit out of my comfort zone by using a color palette I don't usually work with. I usually prefer light or bright colors but for this one I started with a dark background. I really like the end result, I find that it helped make the photo stand out better.

For the "#FUNTIMES" title, part of the "Mini #Word Set 2", I used a turquoise ink and traced the border with black ink.

Behind the picture and paper layers, I used the "Tahnya's 11" Border" which I cut in half to put one part above and one part below the picture. I treated it with a gray metallic paint and inked the border with some black ink.

For the "Ornate Buckles", I embossed them with a blue embossing powder.

On the "Mini Branches", I used pink ink that I applied roughly to leave some unpainted parts showing through.

For this layout, I used the following chipboards:

That is all for today, I hope this layout gave you some inspirations for your own creations! See you soon with more ideas!

I also created this layout for the 7DotsStudio july challenge. The moodboard inspired me. You can see it below this message. Feel free to participate at 7DotStudio's blog.
