My Story continues....by Tammy Klingner

  Hi everyone

I'm back to share another layout from the awesome 'My Story' Range available at
All About Scrapbooks.
Last week I did a bright funky page about myself and my daughter, and I was really  taken with the gold accents.

So this week I decided to do a monochromatic page, using black, white and pops of gold.
   
I smeared some gesso over the paper, and then some gold paint.
  I then gathered together scraps that happened to be sitting on my desk from other layouts,   from both the My Story range and also the Basic Grey Barista Range.
 I also added a Simple Stories Frame - I am really loving the look of frames in the background of my layouts.   I like how it adds depth and layering without 'blocking' everything.
 I love mixing up ranges.....at first it can be a little scary, but starting with a monochromatic theme can really help at first, as you are really only searching for one colour to mix.

I added embellishments to the layers - lots of word stickers, which I'm also a little obsessed with.  I cut a few arrows out of a 12x12 paper. 
The gold in this paper range is stunning.
 I love how it went so well with my bright, fresh layout from last week, but also feels  so 'classy' added to black and white.

Of course a layout of mine at the moment wouldn't be complete without a few  sequins.......here's a close up...
     

   Back again soon!

I am so LOVING playing with these amazing products!!
