Stefanie Semple’s page below was inspired by a pin of this photo of a bird by Skip Vetter.
Stefanie says “Nature is filled with interesting textures, colors, shapes and designs. I could have picked any of the images pinned to the Get It Scrapped Nature Pinboard and lifted something from it to use on a layout.”
“The image of this bird with its bright contrasting plumage encouraged me to go out of my normal box of color combinations and try yellow, orange, purple and green on my page. I also added a muted dark green floral inspired patterned paper background, similar to the bokeh in the image.Then I added feather and floral elements to move the eye through the layout and add dimension, as well as other fun items from nature to be little details.”
