Hey scrappy people,
it's Lisa back on the blog today, sharing a layout I made using the brand new Paige Evans collection called Horizon. I really love every Paige collection, but I have to admit, with Oh my Heart, this is my favorite collection of them all. :)
Here is what I created...
I wanted to make a layout where I could showcase a lot of those beautiful patterned papers in rainbow colors. So I chose one of Paige newest cutfiles where I could back each letter with a different patterned paper. I used papers with very small patterns that can almost count as solids.
I started by tracing each letter on the papers and cut them out. I didn't want to back the cutfile in the usual way though, I wanted the cutfile to sit on the letters a little crooked. So I attached the letters to another one of the patterned papers and the I placed the cutfile on top. I stitched over each letter of the cutfile with color matching thread to give more interest.
Haha... don't look at some letters too closely, the stitching machine is a bit complicated and not that performant and I'm really not the best at machine stitching... ;) I don't think it matters though, I love that it's not really perfect.
I also used a 3d flower cutfile from Paige to create some flowers with matching colors. I placed the flowers next to the letters with the same color.
I also added some ephemera flowers next the 3D ones. The flowers of this collection are EXACTLY how I love them... I will need at least 20 packs of ephemera... :)
I also wanted to add leaves to the flowers, but using more patterns and colors would've been too much. So I cut them out of white paper and traced around them with a fine gold pen. Then I added them to some of the bigger flowers. I matted my pictures on some scraps of paper and added them too.
Since you couldn't see the word of the cutfile 'Fantastic' very good anymore, I wanted to include it again. I hand-cut out letters from matching patterned papers, adhered them to white paper and cut the word out, leaving a white border. Then I adhered it to the layout, adding also the word 'women' with tiny foam thickers.
To frame the layout, I used a few of the washi tapes from the collection. I ripped random pieces of them and adhered them to the borders of the page.
Finally, I added some white splatters and I was done!
Thank you so much for being here! :)
