Pinkfresh Studio - Lovely Blooms - What Really Matters

Hi everyone!

Claire back here with you today, sharing my second layout with the Lovely Blooms collection from Pinkfresh Studio.

What I really love about this collection in particular, is the different colour combinations. 

If you saw my first layout, you may remember is was full of beautiful bright, summer colours. This time, I'm focusing on the earthier, warmer tones with pops of burgundy, warm creams and burnt oranges.  It has a completely different feel and I'm here for it! Who doesn't love a single collection that offers so much versatility! 

I used a cutfile to create a large doily in the centre of my page, cut from the B side of the Choose Happy paper. This is the perfect piece to anchor the page and build my clusters.

I layered my photograph on one of the elements from the Journaling bits pack. I offset it slightly letting these shades of green blend with the background of my photo.

Next came the fun part - the layering and building of that beautiful floral cluster at the bottom, which supports my photo.

I pulled out all of the warmer tones from the Floral Ephemera, fussing cutting a few extra orange and one small blue flower from the Bloom Brightly paper.

I lay some on foam and some flat, curling the edges of the petals and leaves by rolling then around a pencil.

Once these were all in place, I reached for the Fabric Stickers, adding the 'Be You' sticker to the bottom of the cluster. These are great for extra texture - they bring that little something extra to your projects.

For my title, I created a much smaller cluster in the top right, using a banner from the Journaling bits, the fabric stickers and Floral Ephemera. The width of the banner helps balance the bigger cluster at the bottom.

As a final touch, I added a few enamel dots to the clusters to echo the colours of this beautiful collection.

I really do love these tones of the collection, and how it enables me to scrap layouts with a completely different look and feel. I hope you've enjoyed reading about how it all came together.

I'll be back next month with some more projects. Until then, happy scrapping!
