Enjoy - Uniquely Creative - Bohemian Escape Collection

Hi everyone,

It’s Rebecca here with you today, sharing my second layout of the month. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed creating with the Bohemian Escape collection by Uniquely Creative—it’s been such a joy to work with. I’m so grateful we’re able to get our hands on these beautiful collections. There are a few in stock, so don’t forget to have a browse in the shop here.

I love how elegant this collection looks when paired with a minimalistic layout and plenty of white space. It really allows the beautiful elements to shine. For this layout, I began by cutting thin strips from several patterned papers. I arranged these strips in the centre of a sheet of Premium White Cardstock, then snipped the ends at an angle to add a little extra interest. I varied the lengths, keeping shorter strips toward the edges and longer ones in the middle. I also removed the centre section to create a horizontal band of white space running at an angle across the design—I had a plan for this area but waited until the page was complete to finish it!

With my photo printed at 3x4 inches, I matted it using a couple of papers from the collection. I chose light blue and beige tones to echo the colours in my son’s shirt. To add a touch of texture, I gently distressed the edges using the blade of my scissors. I then raised the photo with a layer of foam and positioned it on the right-hand side of the layout. I embellished a couple of the corners with florals from the Creative Cuts Ephemera. These die cuts are so elegant and detailed, and I love how they look layered together.

To balance the design, I placed my title (also from the Creative Cuts Ephemera) on the left-hand side of the page. Normally, I might avoid using a solid black title with softer colours, but in this case, I loved how it tied in with the dark sunglasses in the photo and added a bold contrast to the layout.

Although I had plenty of paper strips, I felt the area beneath the title needed a little something extra. To enhance this section, I added a couple of small flowers and some of the beautiful butterflies to tie everything together.

To finish the page, I returned to the white space running through the centre and added dots of Crystal Nuvo Drops in the shade “Mustard Gold.” This subtle sparkle adds an elegant finishing touch.

Thanks so much for reading. I hope you’re enjoying creating with Uniquely Creative as much as I am. I noticed Vanessa has already added another collection to the shop, so be sure to head over to the website and check it out before it’s gone!

Take care,
Rebecca xx
