TSK CLEO & BPK ORLA ~ MISS HOLLY ~ SOPHIE

Hey everyone, it's Sophie here again with another layout using Cleo, plus some bits and pieces from Orla. I still have so much more left of these kits which I will most definitely use up. 

I played around for a while and ended up creating a gradient effect with just some of the die-cuts from the Dear Lizzy ephemera pack. I really love the look of grouping colours together, no that I do it often, I think it might be my new go to technique. Maybe. 

I mentioned in the video this month that I created a few different backgrounds using watercolour, this was one of them. I was afraid using so many paper die-cuts on one layout might look a little flat, so I used a variation of mounted tape and regular tape to adhere them. 

I also added some stitching to some of the ephemera pieces to add more texture and dimension, as well as including some gems and glitter hearts from the BPK. Featuring multiple textures will also prevent your layout from looking plain.

Thanks for popping by today everyone, I hope you have been inspired. There are still a few of both these kits available in the store so be sure to snatch one up before they're gone. 

I can't wait to start creating with the new kits. Until then, happy scrapping,

TSK CLEO ~ SWEET CHILD OF MINE ~ KAYLA

Hello there, it's Kayla again! This time with a traditional scrapbook layout.
Let me say, once again I have impressed myself (trying not to be cocky) by making a boyish layout from a girly kit. Just showing you boy mummas out there that it can be done. I was selective with the die cuts I chose and I even grabbed the gelatos out for a play. I am losing my fear of using them slowly and I really love how this one turned out.

If you watch the below process video you will see a little bit of how I created this gelato background. It was inspired by the lovely Wilna Fustenberg. She does lovely things with watercolours and mixed media techniques. The idea of this layout was to create a layering of the lovely die cuts you get in the kit. I selected quite a few of the more blueish toned die cuts out of the pack.

I used a mixture of alphas. The gold alphas are from the CLEO kit however the grey woodgrain alphas were left over from the gorgeous NOVA kit and I thought they looked so cute combined. To add some extra texture and another element I got my dusty sewing machine out of hiding the stitched over them. I really like how it looks over chipboard thickers.

I have typed my journalling using my trusty typewriter and stamped the date using my Heidi Swapp date stamp. I love the script of the months on this stamp. I have also added one of the gold glittered circle tags as a layer behind my photo. So cute. The wood dots are from an older BPK Kit ~ Hunter.

A little look at the top of the layout. The wood banner and flair are from my personal stash but I thought that they accented the page well. I love how to ORLA kit worked so well with this kit also. I pulled a lot of gold in and think it finishes off well with the gold foiling of the die cut.

I hope you enjoyed this look at my layout.

Much love.
