Hi
everyone, here is my latest layout for Bella Blvd using the fabulous new
collection To the Moon! I am mixing it with Bella Besties today and I’m
focusing on making a masculine layout to celebrate Fathers’ Day!
I was
instantly drawn to the Daily Details paper the second I saw it – but the B
side! It has triangle quadrants in four colours: Oyster, Orange, Blueberry and
Ice. I decided to get out my star punches and create a colour-on-colour layout
by layering similar coloured stars over the colour blocked areas.
I have a
super-cute photo of my husband and our two-year-old boy Theo. These two have a
great bond and really are best pals. I adore this photo of them being silly
together. The photo itself is poor quality. It’s taken on a front camera, in poor
lighting so it’s a little grainy. So to make it look better I printed it small
and changed it to black and white – that’s a great tip if you have a low
quality photo, black and white can make it look a LOT better!
I pulled
out my Bella Besties Freehand Graph and Dot papers and found the four colours.
I then set about punching multiple stars using star punches. I have quite a variety
of them! I used the biggest one first, then got smaller, ending up using a
confetti star punch that punches out loads of teeny tiny stars. I then arranged
them onto the quadrants. I cut some of the big stars in half in order to have
stars cross over the lines on the paper. I raised all the bigger ones on foam
pads and have layered smaller ones on top of the big ones. I filled in the gaps
with the little stars. I wanted my stars
to be close together in the middle of the layout and spread out more towards
the edges to form a star-burst effect.
I added my
photo off centre and then found a few embellishments from the To the Moon
Collection to go with my layout. I needed to keep the embellishment minimal because
there was so much going on the layout already!
I added a
few enamel dots from the Cooper collection and my title is made up of To the
Moon chipboard and Aria puffy alphabet stickers.
I finished off
by writing my journaling in silver pen and then I added splatters of black
paint.
Thank you
so much for joining me today and happy scrapping
