Hello,
Anita here with you today....and I have a layout to share that I have created using the No Limits collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.
I had this adorable photo of our baby Grandson when he was just a few weeks old and wearing his heavy rock t shirt and jeans, bless him such a cutie ....and when I saw one of the elements on the sheet of Universal I knew this was the perfect chance to use it.
The layout was backed with a sheet of Marmalade Burst Cardstock and then a sheet of Orbit was trimmed down slightly to allow a border of the orange to frame the layout.
Using a paper pricker, I chose one of the large circles around the edge of the page and pricked the dots all around the circle to make it easier to sew. Using some thick, sparkly embroidery thread I then sewed all the way round....just to add a little sparkle, interest and slight dimension
Next I set about fussy cutting lots and lots of different sized stars from the sheet of Nebula...I often find a good session of fussy cutting is quite therapeutic ....but by the end of the sheet I was literally seeing stars!!
The larger stars were perfect to add a little bit of sparkle to, so on some I added a few sparkly stitches and then on a couple i used a wrapping method around them with the thread. Some were stuck direct onto the layout and others were raised on foam pads.
The photo and the panel were both matted on some Marmalade Blast cardstock, along with a couple of word strips. These were all cut from a sheet of Universal and so was the little circular panel that I added a little journalling to.
This was a lovely collection to work with and I will be using the rest of the stars that I had cut out on another layout for another post at a later date.
Cocoa Vanilla Studios have a super range of collections available at the shop covering various themes. Have you seen them? If not, why not grab a cuppa and have a mosey round the website and see all the other gorgeous goodies for sale.
Happy Crafting!
Warmest wishes
Anita x
