Sunny yellow on not so sunny days

The weather is here is so crazy at the moment, super hot one minute and the next minute I'm needing to put on a jumper! I'm usually a summer loving girl but as my scrapbooking room has no air conditioning it is nice to have some cooler weather for creating.  Today's page is a creation for the 123 challenge.  The criteria is to use the colour yellow, texture and the word "together".  

Here is my layout:

I used a range of papers on this layout including the following:

Bo Bunny - "Genivieve"

My Minds Eye - "Kate and Co"

Kaisercraft - "Fine and Sunny"

Kaisercraft - "Lilac Ave"

I always get an extra buzz taking papers from different companies and ranges and working them together to create. It is something that I have only recently had the confidence to do.

I was so excited when I saw that the technique was texture as I have been itching to try out an embossed acetate technique seen on Pinterest.  I was so excited that I had a honeycomb embossing folder (Kaisercraft) to match honeycomb print in the main paper. To add further texture I also used a script folder (Cuttlebug) on the same piece.  After painting over the acetate I waited impatiently for it to dry (I was reluctant to use a heat gun on plastic) before sanding the raised areas lightly. Further texture has been added with corrugated card, paper napkins, texture paste, metal charms and lace. Here are some close ups of the details;

Until next time...
