Hi everyone! I’m delighted to be back Guest Designing today
for Cocoa Vanilla Studio and I have my second layout to share today. I am
obsessed with those gorgeous words on the Definitive paper and have spent some
time fussy cutting a lot of them out. I
wanted to make a feature out of them on this layout.
I chose the purple side of Flutterby paper as my background,
which I paired with the pink strawberry side of Lush Blooms paper. I trimmed
these both down and distressed the edges, then stuck them together offset
slightly. I then positioned these onto a sheet of white card.
I mounted my photo onto a darker patterned paper and added
that to my layout together with a gold fussy cut frame from the Specialty Foiled
paper. I then arranged all the fussy cut words around the photo, cascading down
from top to bottom. I raised them all on foam pads to give them some dimension.
I then added some of the Floral Ephemera to the bottom
corner of my photo, and another cluster in the top right corner. I chose mostly
pinks and purple flowers but also added a few yellow ones. Purple and yellow
are opposite each other on the colour wheel, so are therefore ‘contrasting
colours’. Contrasting colours work best
when there is a lot of one colour with a small amount of the contrasting
colours and this is exactly what I did with the yellow – just a couple of small
pops of it in amongst all the beautiful purple.
I added another tiny cluster in the bottom right corner of
the layout using some of the Die Cut Ephemera. I added some butterflies and handwrote
my journaling under all the words. I also embellished the words with lots of
Puffy Heart Stickers.
I finished off with a few splatters of white paint over the
top of the embellishment clusters! I absolutely love how this turned out, I
adore purple as a colour so love how this looks as a background!
Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping!
