Hey again everyone! I’m back today with another layout for
Cocoa Vanilla Studio using the Great Escape Collection. For this layout I was
inspired by the banner shapes in this collection and decided to make a banner
design.
I used white for my background and then made three different
sized banners out of patterned papers. I chose two solid-ish patterns for the
larger ones (green compasses, and orange zig zags) and then took a risk and
made a stripy one for the smaller one. The reason it’s a risk, is because there
are white stripes in-between the colours, and multiple colours, so it may not
have looked as defined as the other two, but after distressing the edges and
put some orange trim around the bottom edge, I think it looks ok!
I distressed the edges of all banners, and added strings for
‘hangings’. I usually would have used brads for them to ‘hang’ from, but I
didn’t have any (I was scrapping away from home) so I just stitched them in
place with a single stitch using cotton.
I also added contrasting coloured strips to the top of each banner.
I added one single photo, a landscape one, which is a bit
unusual for me, but it worked perfectly with this design. I added two large
embellishment clusters, comprising of Floral Ephemera from the Heart & Home
collection (which goes beautifully with the colours in Great Escape by the
way!) and multiple other Ephemera pieces from Great Escape. I also added
chipboard, which I always enjoy adding because it gives a different texture to
my layouts.
For my title I used ‘the great outdoors’ from the Puffy
Title Stickers, which I positioned on the diagonal lines of the banners. Again
this is a bit different for me, so I was a bit out of my comfort zone with this
layout! But I love how the title looks!
I finished off with small embellishments: stars from the
Puffy Title Stickers, Enamel Dots and sequins! I also added a few phrase strips
from the Accessory Stickers.
I adore how this layout turned out, it’s so fun and I love
the oversized banners!
Happy scrapping
