Explore Layout - New Adventures collection

Hi everyone welcome back to my blog, thanks for stopping by.. 
Today, I am sharing a very quick and easy scrapbook layout using the
Wonderful new release " NEW ADVENTURES" collection from Couture Creations

This layout has a photo of my recent trip (last year 2019) to Florence Italy
The Ponte Vecchio is an old bridge linking the parts of the city over the river
I took this photo over the other side - I just love the reflection on the water with the old bridge and buildings in the distance. 

EXPLORE layout with Adriana Bolzon

Firstly I only used one sheet of the 12 different double sided papers
" NEW ADVENTURES"  CO727765. Sheet#11.
I randomly stamped over the page with the
" NEW ADVENTURES" MINI STAMP SET CO727787 Olive Branch 
with Dark Brown ink pad




Then adding some " NEW ADVENTURES" CO727786 Passport stamp mini stamp around the top and edges of the paper.

Using the " NEW ADVENTURES" Olive Branch Cut & Create die CO727790
and
Card Deco Olive Green and Bronze Pigment ink pads
I dabbed over the cut and Create die and place a piece of paper on top of die,
using my Go Power and Emboss machine to cut out several beautiful inked leaves. 

I then foiled some CHIPBOARD with the GoPress and Foil machine and
CO727798 Sentiment chipboard "EXPLORE" and other chipboard from  my stash.

Once foiled , I layered my photograph and arranged clusters of flowers and die cut leaves around the my photo. 

Tucking a little ephmera postcard under the photograph. 
Here I have written the date when this photo was taken.

Foiling the swirling chipboard with the Chocolate Cooper Foil CO725691 

Just a very quick and easy layout
using the papers, stamps and Cut and Create dies together with a touch of foiling on the chipboards
( I do love ROSE GOLD FOIL !! )

Until next time
Take care and see you soon !!

"Hello everyone Adriana here today to explain how easy these 3D decoupage sheets are to use for all your paper crafting needs.  The designs themselves have been designed by wonderful Artists around the world, so I need to explain that I these are not my designs.  Couture Creations, asked me to select a few of the best and to show you all how these decoupages images work so wonderful well with a touch of foiling, mixed media or just with papers and dies.  So, as I have been paper crafter for many years,  I think these 3D decoupage sheets are so super inexpensive and they compliment our new Christmas Papers perfectly and especially by adding touches of  foiling with the Go Press and Foil machine, these 3D decoupage sheets are a must for all paper crafters.  I have had so many people ask me, so I foiled a frame, then what.  Well, that's why these 3D Decoupage images are perfect for all the different hot foil stamps and Cut, Foil and Emboss dies that all all available from Couture Creations. Go to your local paper craft store, pop in and ask for them, or ask them to order it in for you. Today, I have played with one of them, in particular the  3D decoupage sheets. CO727053.  I created two Christmas cards and a very Special Birthday card. Adding some Couture Creations papers and of course, a touch of foiling with Cut, Foil and Emboss dies with the assistance of the Go Press and Foil machine - you too can create wonderful cards like these" Using the CO727053 Christmas Classic Geranium 3D Decoupage Sheet. The centre cluster image of flowers, even though they have some green holly leaves, I decided to create a Special Birthday card with those flowers. By adding some of the new papers from the "Naughty or Nice" collection, some foiling elements and with the help of the Go Press and Foil machine - these 3D Decoupages images are transformed into wonderful projects with outstanding results. I've list all the materials I have created with each card at the bottom of the photo of each card.
