My Girls

Scrapbook Layout created for Clique Kits  -  MY GIRLS  -

Hello there!

Today, I am up on the Clique Kits blog with a new project featuring the gorgeous Aquarelle kit that features Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Wild at Heart collection.  I am in  love with all the watercolor floral designs in the papers, and though I shed tears over fussy cutting the paper, I just had to work a project with them.  Here is a small video on how the page came together:

I hope you enjoyed the video!!.   It took some time to detail all the flower cuts, so I gave you the condensed fast forward version of the process.  

It all started with the creation of the shaker element for this page.   Two same size circles of light coral/pink cardstock and vellum, as well as the outline of the circumference (cut from white cardstock) were stitched together.  Before closing the pocket, some of the Clique Kits' Sorbet Kit Special Sequin Mix was added to the inside of the pocket.

Before attaching the shaker element to the mat, I used a bit of white acrylic paint to mute the design a bit, so that all the florals, and embellishments will not get lost with the background.   After gluing the shaker pocket, and picture, I used a large number of fussy cut flowers to frame the circle and picture in the layout.

The exclusive printables from the kit, as well as the " Fussy Cut" page from the collection were used to create the clusters around the picture.  The title for this page comes from the thin Pinkfresh Studio alphas (which are also included in the Aquarelle kit).  After adding a few journal lines, and some gold ink drops, the layout was finished,  here it is:

Love, love, love the final look of this layout.  The colors on the florals are rich, and plain beautiful;  plus the  exclusive printables, and sequins from Clique Kits just complement this project. I hope you are inspired to create a shaker element for your pages!   Remember I am comment away if you have questions on how this came together.

Thanks for stopping by!
