Hey everyone! Here is a new layout for Cocoa Vanilla Studio
using the fabulous Great Escape Collection! This layout actually started off as
a scraplift as the monthly challenge over on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Community
Group is to scraplift a layout of one of the Design Team. There is an example
by Josefine that has layered hearts in a grid design, so I decided to do the
same thing with stars.
I set about using my Big Shot and metal nesting star dies to
cut lots of different sized stars from lots of patterns from the A5 paper stack.
I layered them together and stitched down the middle of each one. I made some
smaller than others and each star has at least three layers.
But it turns out that arranging stars in a grid design doesn’t
really work because they are very pointy! The would have to be really small to
fit several across the page! So I continued to use my layered stars but the
grid design was out the window!
I prepared my background using the beautiful white wash
woodgrain paper which I trimmed down, distressed the edges and stuck onto a
sheet of white card. I then splattered this with black paint.
I arranged my photo onto the background with four of the
layered stars. They are all clustered together across the top part of the
layout and this worked really well. I couldn’t cut my photo into a star shape
so I’ve kept it as a rectangle and slotted it in-between two stars with some
overlap.
I added ‘Fun Times’ as my title from the puffy title
stickers pack and then added just a few simple embellishments to the layout: a
couple of Chipboard Stickers, some little phrase stickers from the Accessory
Stickers and some little star stickers: some from the Puffy Stickers set, and
some from the Puffy Title Stickers pack. I finished off with some sequins and
some splatters of black paint!
Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping!
