Hello there. Enza here with you today to share how to create a cohesive look on a scrapbook layout. Although scrapbook products, either physical or digital, are made of elements that are meant to go together, some times incorporating all the different bits and pieces can be a little challenging, depending on what you are used to work with. My goal when creating a page is to incorporate as many elements as possible in a way that makes sense to me.
One thing that I often do is pick a color or an element (or both) from a collection and use it as my main focal point. I think repetition is the key to achieve a well-rounded and harmonious look.
The new Picnic Day collection that Elif designed is full of gorgeous, bright colors and fun element. As I wanted to incorporate as much as I could in my project, I chose a cut file that allowed me to use different pattern papers over and over again without being overwhelming.
I also decided to stitch around some of the shapes to make them stand out a little more, as well as add colorful thread here and there.You can see how all the different colors alternate in a perfect sequence.
As much as I love the green polka dot pattern paper that comes in the collection, I thought it would be too much to add to this page, so I decided to modify it a little bit by covering it up with some vellum. You can still see the polka dots and a little bit of color in some of the shapes, but it is very light and airy.
I finished up my layout by adding some elements from the same collection, as well as some wood veneer and acrylic shapes (title) from my stash. And again, repeating colors and textures.
I hope you enjoyed reading about my process and felt inspired by it.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!
