I absolutely fell in love with the laser cuts. They make it so easy to adorn a page with plenty of embellishments. After removing the flowers, I used a ball stylus and foam pad to give the flowers a little bit of dimension. They really popped once they were arranged on the layout. I mounted the laser cut postcard on corrugated cardboard, distressed the edges, and placed it over the post card image on the paper.
I used the wreath from the Seaside blooms flower collection and tucked it under the mounted postcard for added dimension. Then I layered all of the laser cut floral and leaves embellishments around it. I added Art Stones mixed with gel medium and a bit of texture paste using a stencil on the background then sprayed a bit of Lindys Stamp Gang spray onto the stones.
Because the laser cuts coordinate perfectly with the background paper, the viney leaves just melted into the background.
The look is incredibly seamless and beautiful. Everything flows just beautifully.
And you know those strips attached to the bottom of the paper? Yes, we always cut them off before or after the layout is done and toss them in the trash. Well 49 and Market makes perfect use of these strips. I cut the strip off, then cut the individual phrases off of them, and used BE HAPPY as my title. Genius!! I scattered some beautiful 49 and Market pebbles around the layout to finish it off.
I created a file of butterflies that you can print up on card stock and cut out. I used a thick coat of clear crackle on them, and only attached the body to the layout letting the wings flap in the breeze. If you cut out the antennae, use a black sharpie to color. The ones I used on my layout were printed on a 5x7 white cardstock.
Thank you for coming by to sneak a peak this week!!
