Fast one paper, one punch TN layout

Aloha Clique International friends! I am sharing a travelers notebook layout I finished recently. To make this layout I used only one 12 x 12 paper. On the right side, I used watercolor paper as a background paper and I used the pastel pearl set of watercolors from Kuretake to create an ombre wash. I love this set because the glimmer is very subtle and the colors are so soft.  I cut apart the Paige Evans Bloom Street paper 7 into strips the width of the squares. Punching along the strips of paper with my Monstera leaf punch from the strips is an easy way to punch multiple shapes quickly and easily. The B side of the paper is pink with small daisies and bumble bees and I used this as the background of the opposite page of my spread. Finally, I used another scrap from the same paper behind my photo.

This layout documents the first time my fiance and I took a walk on the beach together. We stopped to take a selfie and even though it came out a little blurry I still cherish the photo.

I machine stitched the individual leaves in rows on my watercolor background. One of the shaker embellishments from the Over the Rainbow kit (from the Amy Tangerine Picnic in the Park collection) was the perfect finishing touch under my photo. I hope you will try using a favorite punch to create a simple but fun layout.
