Don't grow up layout for PINK PAISLEE

Hi lovely friends,

it's Lisa back on the blog today to share the cutest layout made with the adorable Little Adventurer collection.

In December me and my girlfriends did a little shooting session and one of my friends brought this huge teddy bear. I took some pictures with it and I think they turned out so cute and dreamy. The new Little Adventurer collection was perfect to document it.

To start I created this adorable little bear using the paper-piecing and hand-stitching techniques. I drew the bear, cut out the different pieces, traced around those on different patterned papers and cut them out again. Then I adhered them on a pink patterned paper,  stitched around some parts with matching thread and cut it out leaving this pink border.

For my background, I took a 12x12 sheet of white paper and did some mixed media on it that would look like a kind of halo behind the bear. Then I splattered a lot of gold and pink paint all over the page. When everything was dry, I placed the bear on the page and adhered it with craft foam to make it more dimensional.

I wanted the bear to wear a flower crown, So I used some flower stickers but also cut a few out of the patterned papers. I added them to the head, along with some wood veneer stars that I painted white. I also gave the bear a little flower to hold in its hand.

I matted my picture on a lot of pieces of patterned paper... love doing that... and placed it next to the little bear.

For my title, I used different materials. I used some of the alpha thickers, a word thicker that I cut apart, some hand-cut letters and some gold glitter letters I fussy-cut out of the speciality paper included in the collection. I love mixing alphas and fonts, it always look super fun! :)

I added some scalloped border stickers to two of the sides and some chipboard and cardstock stars and I was done! :)

Thank you so much for spending some time with me.
