I've been scraplifting

I'm often inspired by the work of others and will incorporate ideas and elements into my own designs. It's not very common for me to want to almost replicate someone else's work though. I came across this gorgeous layout  by Rachel Hall on Pinterest and fell in love with it! I just adore the sweet, girly feel of it. The folded circle part is really cute but didn't suit the paper I wanted to use with this photo so I tried something different. I do plan to try that technique on something else though. It's the first time I've used my Pink Paislee mask on a layout (I mostly use it for art journaling) and I'm quite happy with the result. Maybe I'll be brave enough to try ink splatters soon!  I love the way the whole layout turned out. Thanks for the inspiration Rachel!
