Hello, it's Rebecca with you today sharing a colourful new layout using Paige Evans' 'Garden Shoppe' collection. When creating my last layout, I limited my colour scheme to just yellows and greens, so today I wanted to embrace all the colours in the collection and create something fun. I love all the florals and brights in this collection - it's perfect for Spring, Summer, Autumn.... its so versatile! The collection can be found in the store here.
I started with Paper #11 and cut a section approximately 3x9 inches to act as an anchor for my layout. I love that this paper almost matches the background of my photo with all the flowers and colours. Using a starburst stencil, I added colour to my background with some Distress Oxide Ink Pads.
I placed my photo over to the right of the strip of patterned paper, with a layer of pink cardstock behind it. I used a set of metal dies to cut some tag shapes from some of the other papers in this collection - opting for the more 'solid' patterns on the B sides of Paper #19, Paper #7 and Paper #18. I slotted the tags behind my strip of floral paper - two at the top and one at the bottom.
For my title, I've used an acrylic perspextive from Bramble Fox.
Next, I started to embellish my page using the Floral Die Cuts. I love that this pack includes florals and leaves in all different colours. I also added some stickers from the Sticker Book, and some of the Accent and Phrase Stickers. I arranged the embellishments in a way that creates a 'visual triangle' around my photo. This helps to keep the photo as the focal point of the page as your eye is drawn to it. I like to raise my embellishments up with foam pads to introduce some dimension to the layout.
To finish the layout, I fussy cut some of the phrases from Paper #23, and staggered them under my photo, picking phrases that worked for my photo, but also so that I introduced different colours to that section of my page.
I hope you've enjoyed this layout. I'll be back later in the month with another Garden Shoppe layout.
Take care,
Rebecca x
