Inspirational love layout for PINK PAISLEE

Wednesday, September 26, 2018

Hello dear friends,
today I'm sharing one of my favorite layouts I've done lately.

Since I love using flowers on my layouts but have almost none left in all of my collections (yes... really sad... need to buy more ;) ), I was inspired by Paige's hand-stitched white floral piece to make this beautiful piece myself. I used a cutfile (#184186) from Pink Paislee in the silhouette store. I printed it on white paper, pierced holes and then stitched the whole thing with a chain-link stitch and back stitch. Then I cut it out leaving a thick border.
@lisafonseca1985 loves using flowers in her layouts. But what do you do when you almost used up and fussy-cut out all of the flowers from all the @pinkpaislee collections you have? Well, you use a @pinkpaislee cutfile, hand-stitch all the flowers with coloruful thread and use it as a center piece on your layout.
Yes, I admit, it took quite some time to finish it, but it was soooo worth it! :) I'm so happy with how it turned out.
As a background, I used a patterned paper from the Summer Lights collection. I trimmed off the edges and adhered it on a paper from Oh my Heart. Then I distressed the borders of the blue paper. I like creating borders like this, I do it on almost all of my layouts. Most of the times, it looks more finished to me.

I tried to find the perfect placement for my big floral piece and adhered it to the page using sticky foam to make it stand out. Then I matted my picture using a lot of scraps of paper and also some ephemera pieces. I placed it on my page using sticky foam as well. Then I finished decorating around it, using some cardstock stickers from Pick-me-up.

I fussy-cut out ALL of the flowers I had left from that beautiful Oh my Heart patterned paper and placed them around the picture as well as around my hand-stitched piece.

As a title, I used a chipboard and a cardstock piece from Pick-me-up.
I splattered gold paint on the whole layout to finish it. :)

Thank you for stopping by and spending some time with me.

  1. This is so beautiful and original Lisa ! Such a lot of stitching must have taken a while but the results are so worth it. I never think to print of things for stitching. You're a really cute couple too :D Cheers!
