Hi everyone, it's Rebecca with you today sharing my first layout created with 49 and Market's 'Vintage Orchard' collection. The weather has certainly changed and Autumn is on the way. As sad as I am to say goodbye to Summer (although did it ever really arrive this year?!), Autumn is my favourite season to scrap so this collection was right up my street! You can find it in the store here.
I started with the 'Nestled' patterned paper - one of my favourites - and cut a 3 inch wide strip. I trimmed down either end and cut fish tails to make it more like a banner. I placed this in the centre of a sheet of Premium White Cardstock with some torn sections of the 'Painted Foliage' above and below it for contrast. At this point I hadn't stuck anything to the white cardstock - I was just sticking everything together and working on layers.
Behind the fishtail banner, I positioned one of the larger cards from the Ephemera Bits pack. This pack is amazing and includes 96 different elements so it will last a long time!
On top of these layers, I added my photos, housed in two of the Stacked Frames. I've raised both photos up using foam to add in some dimension between the layers. I was then able to add in some smaller layers, including some striped frames from the Ephemera Bits and some filmstrips from the Acetate Assortment Set. I love how these little layers make all the difference.
I've used one of the Chipboard Words for my title, picking not only a phrase which works for the photos I'm documenting, but also a colour which matched my photos and the other elements on the page.
With these larger elements in place, I turned my attention to embellishing, which for me is the fun part and where the layout really comes together. I selected some gorgeous green leaves from the Laser Cut Wildflowers. This is another amazing pack which includes 92 pieces so is really good value for money.
Once I'd gone through and adhered all these pieces together, I was able to see how much of the white cardstock my layout was covering. This makes it so easy to add details to the background because I can move everything on and off the page in one piece. The Vintage Orchard collection includes 3 sets of rub-on transfers. I selected some from the Blendable Rub-Ons and the Essentials Rub-Ons and applied them to my background. I love how easily they apply, and they don't really leave an 'outline' as such, so they really do look like stamping and mixed media (just without all the effort and mess!).
I finished off with a couple of laser cut butterflies and some sequins for a little bit of sparkle!
Thanks so much for reading! I hope you've enjoyed this layout and it offers you some inspiration. Vintage Orchard is a stunning collection and is available in the shop now.
Take care
