Hello,
It's Claire on the blog today, and I'm sharing a very pretty layout made with the gorgeous Pressed Florals collection from Carta Bella.
Along with gorgeous florals, this collection has lots of frames, both in the Ephemera Packs and on the cut apart papers, so I decided to make a layout that enabled me to create lots of paper layers with staggered frames too.
To start, I added some Tumbled Glass blue Distress Oxide to my page using the packaging technique. Once this was dry, I used the same colour distress oxide and a dry brush to add some stencilling detail.
I cut three pieces of paper, layering them across the middle of the page. I used the A and B side of the Grow Your Own Way Stems paper and the Dried Wildflower paper as my base layers.
Next, I fussy cut two frames (one green and one golden yellow) from the 6x4 Journalling Cards paper.
I also pulled a smaller yellow frame from the Tags and Frames pack, and cut this in half to extend it across either side of the design. For my gold yellow frame in the middle, I chose to mount it onto a piece of the pink card from the Matchmaker Pack using foam. This gave me a base for my photo to sit whilst also providing extra depth around the photo.
Then came the fun bit. Those gorgeous florals, tags and ephemera pieces!
I fussy cut the flowers and leaves from the 3x4 Journalling Cards paper and arranged these around my page to frame the photo. For extra interest, I also added in some die cut foliage using dies from the Arden Creative Studio ranges.
In amongst one of the floral clusters, I added a tag and small ephemera piece for extra interest.
I echoed this with another tag from the Frames and Tags set to form my title.
I've really loved creating with this collection, as I've really missed creating with pretty florals during the colder winter months!
I hope you've enjoyed this blog post and are also ready for some pretty Spring crafting!
Happy creating!
Claire xx
