Nature - P13 Paper Products - Into the Woods Collection

Hi everyone,

It's Rebecca with you on the blog today sharing my second layout of the month, created with the gorgeous 'Into the Woods' collection by P13 Paper Products. You can find the collection in the shop here.

This layout was entirely inspired by one of the images on Paper #05. I really loved the circle image with the toadstool and decided to cut it out and create a layout made of circles.

Using a set of metal nesting dies, I cut circles of varying sizes form several of the patterned papers. I adore the green tones with the contrasting bright orange. I arranged the circles onto a sheet of Premium White Cardstock and adhered them together - but not to the background as I knew I wanted to come back later and add some mixed media. 

With the circles in place, I added a circular photo. I made sure to cut my photo larger than the other circles on the page to help it stand out. I fussy cut some toadstools from Paper #03 and arranged them among the circles, raised up on foam pads for dimension. To embellish further, I fussy cut a hare and some florals from Paper #07 and some butterflies from Paper #01. To build up the embellishment clusters further, I selected some leafy elements from the Flower and Leaves Ephemera Pack.

For my title, I rummaged through my stash and selected a perspextive title by Bramble Fox. The green colour was a perfect match for the green circles on this layout. Simple things like that make me really happy! 

I finished off embellishing with some phrases from Sticker Sheet #1.

With everything in place and adhered together, I was able to move everything off my background as one piece. This makes adding the mixed media much easier as I don't have to keep rebuilding my layout to see if I've added enough ink.

Using a brayer, I added some colour to my background using a Distress Ink Pad in the shade 'Peeled Paint' and a Distress Oxide Ink Pad in 'Iced Spruce'. Once this was dry, I returned everything to the centre of the page and adhered it with a layer of adhesive foam behind it.

Thanks so much for reading. I hope you like my layout and it offers you some inspiration. This collection is selling fast so grab it whilst you can!

Take care,
