Together Love by Allara Bamforth

Hello and Happy Saturday!

I'm back on the blog today with a layout using the wonderful 'This is Our Happily Ever After' Collection. I hope you snap up this collection, it is such a bright and fun range of goodies, perfect for scrapping you and your significant other. It is complete with all the good humour and a few naughty quotes that we all know and love.

For today's layout I have picked a special photo of my husband and I from January this year, where we went on our first holiday ALONE in 19 years. We had such fab time - and the best part was I decided that I still liked him even after our 26 years together. This photo is of Cradle Mountain in Tasmania and it was just one of the most beautiful places I've been to and it also was taken on our wedding anniversary.

I picked the 12 x 12 paper 'I'll Keep You' from the Happily Ever After collection, because the cool geometric shapes reminded me of Cradle Mountain. I ended up cutting across the geometric shapes on this paper to separate two pieces which I've inked in black ink and layed over each other, also cutting a small strip for the opposite edge. Using the Fragmented Stencil I've added some texture with some glitter gel from Faber Castell to fit in with geometric design.

I've used three of my favourite Tim Holtz oxide inks to create so colour in the white space and also to tie in with matted pieces. To layer my photo I've used the 'Happily Ever After' Filler Cards and also cut some extra triangle shapes to added some interest. There is some fantastic Washi Tape in the 'Happily Ever After' May 2018 kit and I have the the xo xo along the bottom to match some of the filler cards.

I then used my black pen to draw some stitch lines and stamp a cute heart border and some script to finish it off.  I've cut the 'Love Banner' from the Frame 51'Happily Ever After' and a Page Tab from 'Happily Ever After' Page Tabs. The 'you're the only person I cant stand for longer than 4 hours' is from the 'Happily Ever After' 12 x 12 Paper called 'What makes us Work'. This is finished off with a title 'Together' form the 'Happily Ever After wood veneer bits' which I've first embossed with Colourblast Envy and then clear embossed of the top of that again. Last but not least I've added a Flair from Happily Ever After Flair Button 1.

Thanks for stopping by and see you next time with another love filled layout.

Till next post,

Allara xx

Hello Flutterby peeps!!

Belinda here with you today to share a layout featuring the brand new soon to be released 'This is Our Happily Ever After.

I was so excited to receive my DT pack that I couldn't help but play with it straight away!

'Love'

I was immediately drawn to all of the black and white elements in the range. So i grabbed some black cardstock and placed the fabulous new 'All You Need Is Love' Stencil on it before swiping over some texture paste. Once dry, I coloured over the top of the stencilled words with a white Posca Pen to make them a more vibrant white.

How cute is that tomato image?!! I really needed that super gorgeous splash of red on my layout because red, black and white look so good together. I actually customised my tomato by changing the green leaves on top. I didn't want to add another colour to my layout so I simply cut another leafy top from one of the black and white filler cards and stuck it on top of my tomato.

I have created some layers using filler cards and photo cards as well as a square of patterned paper cut from the 12 x 12 'Blanket Thief' patterned paper. To finish, I added my photo as well as that amazing acrylic 'love' word, washi tape, a flair button and heart sticker.

I hope you like my little preview of the new coming soon collection. I can't wait to have another play now.
