November Layouts with AnnaMarie Mondro

Today AnnaMarie Mondro will be sharing some her talent with us today on the Prima blog.

............................................................................

Hi everyone! It’s AnnaMarie here, and I’m happy to be back hosting the blog! It’s hard to believe it’s November already! Here in Michigan we had our first snowfall of the year already –yikes! I’m SO not ready for that!! :)   Today I am happy to share with you two layouts I created for the Prima blog, one inspired by the November Prima Product Pick (and Palette) and the other inspired by the November Build-A-Page (BAP) sketch. I absolutely LOVED the rich vintage colors found in this month’s Prima Product Pick (and Palette) – the vibrant teal colors combined with the rusts, maroons, and rich brown tones were a lovely match for this fall photo of my Sophie. 

 

In order to give the corrugated cardboard background a bit of a “pop”, I first sprayed with glimmer mist, and then followed that up by lightly blotting a teal-colored inkpad into the exposed lines of the cardboard. That worked nicely to provide contrast of the richer blue-green tone against the earthier dark colors used primarily throughout my clusters of embellishments.

And now onto my second layout inspired by the November Build-A-Page (BAP) sketch. :) I really loved this sketch – so many fabulous elements, from the big swirl in the center of the page, the strips of paper throughout, and of course flowers galore! :) I chose to use the Romantique line as my starting point with these photos of my Abigail – this beautiful and softer color palette also has a playful feel to their line, which coordinates so nicely with the happy attitude of my swing-loving girl. :)

..........

Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE the Flocked Rub-Ons that coordinate with each new paper line? :) A tip to share with you – I blotted the Romantique rub-on above with a chocolate brown mini chalk inkpad to add a bit of color to the cream and provide a bit of contrast from the light background paper. The flocking works nicely at absorbing the color without saturating it – giving the appearance of staining.

I chose to substitute the large swirl in the center of the sketch with a Cypress vine – the stem is completely moldable and there is ample room in between the crystal flowers and leaves to embellish with even more flowers, such as these darling teensy Avon Roses, also from the Romantique line! :)

 

Another beautiful Shabby Chic Resin piece, this one from the Garden Fittings set – isn’t that bridge just lovely?! :)
