A {Layout} with Border Dies!

Today I wanted to share with you an 8x8 layout using two of the new Memory Box dies, various Memory Box stamps, and the 6x6 Pixie paper pack!  To begin, I started with the white Gelatos, my pink cardstock, and my water bottle. I spritzed the Memory Box Vintage Record Sheet {G1712} stamp with water, and then I colored it with the white Gelatos and stamped it onto the cardstock:

Next, I splashed the orange Gelatos on the cardstock by rubbing some Gelatos onto my acrylic block, spritzing it with water, then getting it all on my paintbrush to "flick" onto the paper.  There are subtle drops of orange on the layout. A darker color of course would give a bolder affect.

Then I used the PITT big brush pen to ink up the Memory Box Gorgeous Mini Bloom {B1761} stamp. Because the color would have been too bold, I stamped on a scrap piece of paper first then stamped again onto my cardstock. I wanted the brown color just not so bold. :) 

I also used that same stamp and the larger Memory Box Gorgeous Bloom {E1760} stamp to create the flower in the bottom left-hand corner of the layout. You can see a detailed tutorial on how to create the flower in this post here.  I then used two strips of Pixie paper for the layout and edged them with the Memory Box Classic Scallop {98118} die and the Memory Box Pearl Lace {98138} die. I love these two dies layered together!  And here is how my 8x8 layout turned out:

Papers: Memory Box Pixie, Bazzill cs
Faber-Castell: PITT big brush pen nougat, Gelatos white and orange
Stamps: Memory Box Vintage Record Sheet G1712, Memory Box Gorgeous Mini Bloom B1761, Memory Box Gorgeous Bloom E176
Embellishments: Memory Box pearl lace and classic scallop dies, Memory Box white pearl stickers, Making Memories tiny alpha stickers, Basic Grey piper chip alpha, Kaiser Craft pearl (large)

Don't the border dies look amazing? I love layering them. I am sure I will do that a lot! Well, I hope you have enjoyed today's inspiration! Enjoy your day, and thanks for stopping by!!!
