Jen Hadfield - Flower Child - Fun!

Hi everyone,

Claire with you today and I'm going to be creating with the new Flower Child collection from Jen Hadfield.

I started with plain white cardstock and the Retro Rainbow paper. It's such a fun paper and I set about fussy cutting each section to create shards.

Once each section had been cut out, I rearranged them in one large cluster. Originally, I had them in a vertical design but couldn't quite get it to work, so flipped the page to create a horizontal design.

I stuck some flat and raised the smaller sections on foam to create extra height and dimension.

To echo the shape of the stripes, I printed my photo and traced around one of the larger pieces so that my photo fit seamlessly within the design, backing it on plain white cardstock to help it stand out.

To give the page some balance, I took two of the smaller shards and positioned them at the bottom of the page - again lying one flat and raising one of foam. 

I knew I was going to embellish the page with flowers from the ephemera pack, and wanted to echo this amongst the paper shards, so I cut some small segments from the Fab Flowers paper and added these to the top and bottom of the page.

Using flowers from the ephemera pack and mini puffy stickers, I grouped by colour on each shard.  The ephemera had quite a big white border so I trimmed the edges off as I didn't want too much separation between the flower and the paper shard.

For a bit of extra interest, I added some coordinating Nuvo Drops to the centres of the flowers, and sprinkled some Pinkfresh Studio Jewel Essentials across the page.

To finish the page, I added a large title using Foam Alphas from Simple Stories Color Vibe range.

I had a lot of fun creating this vibrant page. I hope it has inspired you. Don't forget to visit the shop and check out the collection here.

I'll be back later this month to share another layout with this gorgeous collection.

See you soon!
