Echo Park ~ Welcome Spring #2

 Hello! Welcome back to the Papermaze blog! It’s Anna here again with my second layout using the Echo Park Welcome Spring collection. But for this layout, I’ve also added in a couple of extra elements from the Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it Real Collection. 

For my second layout, I have taken inspiration from a Paige Evans layout and used her Cutfile - 165 flowers. The cutfile alongside the patterned papers were perfect for these photographs I had been wanting to scrap for a while now.  

I used the b side of the bumblebee breeze patterned paper as my base and began by adding a few coordinating shades of distress ink; shabby shutters, tumbled glass, milled lavender and dried marigold under the cutfile using the packaging technique. 

I then mounted my three photographs. The larger one, I double mounted - first onto African daisy cardstock and then to the b side of the 3x4 journaling cards. I used 3D foam pads to adhere this photograph and kept the other two flat. I mounted the two smaller photographs on to the b side of the sunny spring day paper. 

I used the pinkfresh studio keeping it real floral cardstock die cuts, tucking them in and around the cutfile and between my three photographs, rather than backing it with any papers.

From the same collection, I used the Pinkfresh Studio Keeping it real mini puffy alpha stickers for my title. 

To finish, I added a few stickers from the element stickers sheet, tucking them around my central cluster of flowers, as well as some Doodlebug sprinkles. 

Thanks so much for looking! See you next time!

Echo Park ~ Welcome Spring #1

Hello all, it’s Anna back with you today to share my first layout using Echo Park’s Welcome Spring collection. You can find the collection in the shop here!

For my first layout, I began with a white bazzill cardstock base. I added a strip of the ‘b’ side of the 6x4 journaling cards to the left hand side of the page, tearing the edge, I also added a strip of bazzill ‘African Daisy’ alongside it and also tore the edge of this piece. I added a few spatters of shimmerz paint in bubble gum blast and Christmas cheer and waited for it to dry. 

Meanwhile, I backed two Paige Evans pinwheel Cutfiles using the b side of the journaling cards patterned paper as well as some bazzill cardstock in the shades of ‘romance’ ‘African daisy’ and ‘lagoon’. I also made two of my own pinwheels from the ‘sunny spring days’ patterned paper. To make these two pinwheels, I cut one square measuring 4x4cm and the other 5x5cm. I centred my pinwheels with enamel dots by Pinkfresh Studio. 

To create my title, I fussy cut the sun, clouds and word ‘hello’ from the 6x4 journaling cards and selected ‘sunshine’ from the element sticker sheet. I mounted the clouds/hello title using 3D foam pads to slightly raise it from the page. 

 I mounted my photograph with a thin boarder of the ‘romance’ bazzill cardstock and added a second layer with the ‘sunny spring days’ patterned paper. 

I embellished my layout with stickers from the element stickers sheet. There are so many stickers on this sheet, images and wording in various sizes. I like having the option of smaller stickers too as you sometimes only need a little something. 

To finish I added a few shape sprinkles by doodlebug. 

Thanks so much for looking, I’ll be back with another layout from this collection soon! Have a great week!
