Hello! It's time for a new layout designed for JustNick Studio using their amazing cut files. This time, I made a lovely layout of me and my husband using a selfie we took a week ago when we went for lunch at a restaurant in the beach. This is a page with lots of texture and dimension that I enjoyed creating, and you can see how I made it in the video at the end of this post.
The cut files used in this layout are Rosette Bunch and Leaf Swag. I cut the rosette and a solid leaf swag out of white cardstock, but also cut a leaf swag from a green patterned paper. The papers used in this layout are all from Pinkfresh Studio Happy Heart collection. For the floral border, I used an X-Acto knife to cut around the frame. I used the inside part of this paper in other layout I made last year. To give it some dimension, I added the border using strong double-sided tape but added a few foam tape pieces below the flowers around the edge, so they don't look flat.
I backed the rosettes using a pink ombre paper from the collection and used foam tape to add it to the layout. To give the leaves a little bit of dimension, I pinched each one to create a crease on the center. They were added using liquid adhesive, as well as foam tape behind some of the leaves.
For additional texture, I used a Vicki Boutin folder and Distress Oxide in Speckled Egg. Then, used a few rub-ons from 49 and Market around the clusters for more interest and an additional touch.
For the title, I used a die cut word from the Pinkfresh collection. It is beautiful, with some details in gold foil. To enhance the photos, I matted them using a piece of yellow and blue patterned papers and distressed their edges. The journaling was printed in a piece of die cut. I just measured the card and created the text in Word. Then, I printed it in a piece of regular paper to verify it would fit on the card. Once it was ready, I adhered the card on top of the text and printed it again, this time on the die cut card.
In the photo below, you can take a closer look at all the textures from the stencil, die cuts, the frame, and everything I used in this layout.
Since this collection had some butterflies and I used a butterfly rub-on, I decided to use a few more around the layout. I had already cut them from a patterned paper, so I just grabbed the bag with them and selected three incomplete butterflies that I can fit behind some of the designs. This way nobody will notice they were incomplete.
As a final touch, I added a few enamel dots from Pinkfresh Happy Heart and some gold splatters using Shimmerz Miner, Miner 49er.
