Today I am sharing my love of the exclusive wood veneer shapes on JBS Mercantile Inspiration Blog. I loved the November kits and I have to say that I have been using them with care. I want to extend them as far as I can.
The Lucky Duck layout uses a few key pieces of paper and was constructed pretty quickly. I loved the simplicity of the layout so much that I created a basic sketch. It’s easy to choose themed embellishments to layer into the layout. I chose to use sequins, wood shapes, and feather die cuts.
As much as I love this layout, once it was completed, I realized I had made a big mistake. Can you spot it? In the photos, the subjects are looking outwards. I should have arranged them to look inwards towards each other. Despite this, there are many things I love about this layout. I chose the gray floral print for it’s feminine feel. The soft aqua ombre paper reminds me of water. The yellow cardstock was chosen for it’s pop of bright color as well as the fact that it reminds me of ducklings. I softened the grey floral print with the wood veneer doily and kraft accents. These add a bit of warmth as well as forming a visual triangle to highlight the photos.
I really surprised myself with this layout. It would seem that I am following a bit of a bird theme this month. Usually I struggle with using feathers, but the die cuts were perfect here. The layout just fell together so nicely.
