Hi Friends!
It's Rebecca with you today and I'm excited to be sharing my latest layout created with the stunning Simple Vintage Meadow Flowers collection.
To begin, I cut a circle from the 'Bloom with Grace' patterned paper. I used my metal dies for this as it adds a faux stitched effect around the edge, which I think helps to bring a little texture to the page. I then cut a couple of strips from 2 other floral papers - 'Dream on Dreamer' and 'Filled with Wonder' and tore the top and bottom edges. I arranged these 3 pieces of paper in the centre of a sheet of white cardstock. I also added a torn strip of paper to the left-hand edge of the page. I purposely selected floral papers, and in colours to match my photo.
On top of these, I placed my 3x4 inch photo, with a coordinating tag behind it (which I'd cut from the gorgeous 'Tag Elements' paper). I punched a hole through the top of the tag and set a metal eyelet in it with some waxed cord threaded through.
With these larger elements in place, I turned my attention to embellishing the layout. For me, this is the fun part and where I can really make a layout come to life! Behind my patterned paper circle, I added a leaf spring from the 'Floral Clusters'. I purposely selected an element to match my colour scheme and I also like the way that the chipboard element had a curve to it, which followed the curved edge of the circle.
Around the edges of my photo and papers, I tucked in some floral die cuts from the 'Floral Bits & Pieces' and the standard 'Bits & Pieces', again being careful to select only purple flowers to match my colour scheme.
For my title, I've used one of my all-time favourite Simple Stories products - Foam Stickers! I always love the design and font of these stickers.
To add some detail to my background, I've applied some of the beautiful Rub Ons. These are so easy to apply and amazing quality.
To finish my layout, I've added a scattering of smaller elements, including Decorative Brads, Glitter Enamel Dots and some stickers from the Cardstock Stickers 12x12 sheet.
Thanks so much for reading! I hope my layout provides you with some scrappy inspiration.
Take care,
Rebecca x
