When I think of Africa I think of the Serengeti, wild animals and bright colours.

A little bit of general interest information for you

Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent, after Asia in both cases. At about 30.3 million km² including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20% of its land area. With 1.3 billion people as of 2018, it accounts for about 16% of the world's human population.*

And now on to this weeks layout

The technique for this week is stamping and the optional kit item to be used is chipboard.

I have taken the colours yellow and blue as my inspiration from the bottom photo on the moodboard

The papers I have chosen for this layout are Cocoa Vanilla's Daydream range

I have cut 2 strips of Garden Variety paper to 1" x 12"

2 strips of Sweet Serenity paper to 3/4" x 12"

and 2 strips of Sun Shower to 3/4" x 12"

I have torn one long edge of each of these paper strips, inked the edges with my black Versacolour ink cube and layered them onto my white card stock background so each layer slightly overlaps the one below it.

I have fussy cut several flowers from the Garden Variety sheet of patterned paper to embellish my page.

To fill the stamping requirement I used the zig zag stamp from Kaisercraft's Bow & Arrow stamp set to stamp with Versamark Ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder to areas of the background that would not be covered by my photos

The title was cut using Kaisercraft's Alphabet Upper Case die set from the Sun Shower patterned paper

I also used the Sun Shower patterned paper to cover the chipboard arrow from the optional kit before I attached it to the layout

Here is the process video

Can't wait to see what you create for this weeks project

Till next time

Stay safe
