Hey gang, happy National Scrapbook Day!
This year the Stromsvigt ladies and me are doing a teeny tiny blog hop to celebrate our love of scrapbooking and spring.
Spring is a season that always affects my layouts immensely. It’s the season for neons and rainbow color schemes, everything is fresh and crisp. Delightful!
Kat, Magdalena and I have each created a spring inspired layout to share with you today.
I started this layout by creating a nice painted background.
It can be tricky to get the colors to blend and move around if you apply the color directly to the paper. So instead I grabbed a scrap of plastic and added my paint to that. I used both daubers and inks.
I also added plain water drops to the plastic sheet to make the colors light and watery. This helps with blending too. Then I rubbed the painted plastic against the background paper and that was it! I repeated the whole process 3 times to cover a larger area of my background, making sure the paint would be visible even after I put my photo and other stuff over top.
I rinced the plastic sheet under the tap so I can use it again for more projects.
Aaaaand a close up of the finished page.
Mmmm, yummy thread bunched up under the layers. No stitching involved – bonus!
New stamps and a giveaway
Before you jump along I want to share three new stamps I just released to the Stromsvigt shop on Etsy.
I’m giving away a Thanks You Rock stamp in celebration of this day, and also because I’m so very thankful for all you hopping ladies who read my blog and continue to inspire me and make my day.

Fantastisk layout – det er en fed baggrund og lækre farver. Jeg elsker de guld thickers! Det nye constellation stempel er helt klart min favorit!
