As the colour palette is an old favourite for Carta Bella, you can also easily easily mix and match old and new Carta Bella collections. My layout uses a harvest photo taken at a National Trust property.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313131; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; font-weight: 700;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #313131; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; font-weight: 700; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm8SBVZLybPIpaXKr9rr4Po8GJuTll4BradDl7I2pJX2APANNrgpzpHSLqYfy9JfbdeCnQaTb4ECTueL-yAP_ENDZMQaURBQpoNQJ9tpnUcgki2ObR8ixdCIbZ4rSlRx9W5jcpIfChftcb7JQO8udzIaFuNK7vKgYNsljx1PH-fB2AFTiLo-N4SlJzZAV0/s2425/'Tis%20the%20Season%20to%20be%20Giving%20Thanks%2001a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #16187d; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2425" data-original-width="2241" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm8SBVZLybPIpaXKr9rr4Po8GJuTll4BradDl7I2pJX2APANNrgpzpHSLqYfy9JfbdeCnQaTb4ECTueL-yAP_ENDZMQaURBQpoNQJ9tpnUcgki2ObR8ixdCIbZ4rSlRx9W5jcpIfChftcb7JQO8udzIaFuNK7vKgYNsljx1PH-fB2AFTiLo-N4SlJzZAV0/w592-h640/'Tis%20the%20Season%20to%20be%20Giving%20Thanks%2001a.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(232, 232, 232); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="592" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #313131; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; font-weight: 700; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #313131;">I started this layout by spraying some Mango Blaze </span>Cosmic Shimmer mist<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131;"> onto a sheet of </span>smooth white cardstock.<span style="background-color: white; color: #313131;"> The mist contains mica so has a lovely shimmer.

I don't think you can see the join and it adds some interest to the left side of the layout.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I also added a leafy branch die cut on my Silhouette Cameo from black cardstock.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHKfiUFQMBSX6zy-bgvdI45JY-pxuy4RKwca1vwTdUktRm6yKzFybmZFRAauPHuSgFNldPU8u70APJN8qvvb3Yhz_Q4xt5NVudgzygjMtywfpqJsOx4z-XY1jB2ePc_qlFgovAg2AsLWnFkcn8_NV_MCzyMP-EeASJccEyw7VEnpuOMv1ILCzEDxq47Q/s4000/Snapshot%20Moment%2006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #16187d; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHKfiUFQMBSX6zy-bgvdI45JY-pxuy4RKwca1vwTdUktRm6yKzFybmZFRAauPHuSgFNldPU8u70APJN8qvvb3Yhz_Q4xt5NVudgzygjMtywfpqJsOx4z-XY1jB2ePc_qlFgovAg2AsLWnFkcn8_NV_MCzyMP-EeASJccEyw7VEnpuOMv1ILCzEDxq47Q/w640-h480/Snapshot%20Moment%2006.jpg" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 1px solid rgb(232, 232, 232); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="640" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Using some alphabet stamps from my stash I stamped the words 'colour' and 'vibrant' onto the layout using black ink.

I then cut each square in half to form triangles, distressed all the edges and drew a line round the inside edges of each triangle using a black gel pen. The triangles were then arranged in the centre of the layout making sure that the different papers were evenly distributed. Once I was happy with the layout of the triangles I glued them to the layout and then machine stitched horizontal lines across them with white thread. This added some texture and also made sure the triangles didn't move.
