I think this is the first time I’ve ever played along with this challenge and it was a challenge.  Limiting a scrapbook layout to just three colors, one of which was white, wasn’t easy.  However, I’m really pleased with how it came out.

Here’s a layout that I made using the 11-3 sketch from Let’s Scrap.

I also combined it with the Play Date Cafe Color Challenge #54.

I basically repeated the same process for the other two circle embellishments, except the bird was stamped twice on White Daisy cardstock, once in Sorbet Exclusive ink and again in Black Exclusive ink.  I trimmed out the Sorbet-colored bird, except for the feet and beak.   I edged the Daisy White cardstock circle with Sweet Leaf ink and adhered it with foam tape onto Sweet Leaf cardstock.   The fish was also stamped twice, but one was rolled in two ink colors, first with Sweet Leaf and then in Sorbet.  As you can see, I then cut out the fish minus the fins.  I stamped both the music notes and worm in Cocoa Exclusive ink.

I think this picture is fairly self-explanatory…just stamping twice in Sweet Leaf and Cocoa Exclusive inks and layering one on top of the other.  I love this stamp set…just the coolest looking trees.  The stamp set is fittingly called “Treetops”.

This paper is actually a 2″ x 12″ White Daisy cardstock strip that was embossed with my Big Shot and a new SU! Embossing Folder, called Vintage Wallpaper.  After embossing the paper, I sponged it with Sorbet Exclusive ink all over, then sanded it moderately.  I then sponged Sweet Leaf Exclusive ink, concentrating primarily on the white areas created from sanding.  I then sponged Sorbet Exclusive ink along the edges and then lightly edged it with Black Exclusive ink.  Finally, I put Glitz Stardust Glitter Glue on my finger and smeared it along the paper, trying to allow some to catch along the raised areas.  I repeated this until the glitter had been applied along the length of the paper. 

I created the title by stamping letters from the “Friendship Alphabet – Large” MyAcrylix stamp set in Cocoa Exclusive ink onto White Daisy cardstock and trimming them out into squares.  Then I sponged Sorbet Exclusive ink along the edges and lightly edged the blocks with Cocoa Exclusive ink.  Each one of the letters, except the “L” is adhered with 3D foam tape.  The “Dartmoor” strip below is simply handwritten on White Daisy cardstock, edged with Sweet Leaf Exclusive ink, embellished with two pewter mini-brads and adhered to the base.

The “L” is actually adhered to the first of two 4″x6″ Memory Protectors Flip Flaps…making room for SIX pictures!
