Hi friends! I hope you are all having a great weekend. This is a scheduled post, as I am away from home spending some time with my family by the sea.

I get a lot of emails from my European friends about products I use and where they can find them. So today I am making an art journal layout using products from Stamperia, an Italian craft company.

I had the idea of a butterfly rainbow in my mind for a long time. So when I saw the Stamperia patterned paper I knew it was time to make my idea come true!

Here are a few close up photos of my layout! Check how interesting the background is! And it was so easy to make by using a tissue paper and adding a few touches on top. IMG_5738

I have also added a metal frame to add the date and it really made a difference in embellishing my layout. What is great is that although it adds a bit of dimension, it is not that thick so the journal will close nicely.

For my quote I used alphabet stickers that stand out against the busy background.

The layout today is easy to make and quick. You can enjoy the how-to video below or at my YouTube channel
