P13 - Coffee Break - Coffee & Cake

Hello, Karen here with one final layout to share using the Coffee Break collection from P13. My layout today uses always popular hexagons, including three hexagonal shaped photos.

I started by trimming 1/4" from all sides of a sheet of white Bazzill 12x12 cardstock and matted this onto a 12x12 sheet of brown cardstock leaving a narrow brown frame.

From the Coffee Break Patterned papers I cut 14 hexagons and using a white gel pen I drew some faux stitching on the edges. I also cut three photos into hexagons of the same size.

The hexagons were then arranged on the layout and once I was happy with the distribution of colours and the positioning of the photos, they were stuck to the layout with 3D foam underneath to raise them up and create some dimension.

Using a honeycomb die, I die cut some pieces from green cardstock to use as embelishments. The green honeycombs were tucked underneath the hexagons on two sides of the layout. 

From paper #7 and from the bonus pages in the front and back of the 6x6 paper pad, I fussy cut some florals and pastries and used these to create three clusters of embelishments on top of the hexagons.

The green cardstock I had already used on the layout picked up on the green in the floral images.

Using black cardstock I die cut, using the Silhouette Cameo, the title and backed this using more of the green cardstock and some of the patterned paper. 

At the bottom of the layout I added a journalling strip printed on the computer.

Finally, I splattered the layout with some brown watercolour paint and scattered some gold sequins and brown enamel dots here and there.

I've really enjoyed playing with the Coffee Break collection and will be back soon with another project.

Take Care
