Paint + Stencils: Summer Layout with Flora

Hi Crate Paper fans! It’s Flóra back today sharing a new 12x12 scrapbook layout with you. This time I have used the beautiful Maggie Holmes Sunny Days collection. I used three of my favorite color - pink, mint and yellow - to put together my page.

 

 

I picked Retreat Paper for my background. I love the playful dot pattern, it was the perfect choice for a bright layout.  I had the idea in my head to create a classic layout with layering technique. I gathered pieces from Ephemera pack, Die-Cut Alphas pack and cut apart pieces from Beach Day Paper. I arranged them and adhered them on the page. Then, I fussy cut gorgeous flowers from Apple Blossom and Whimsy Paper and decorated the cluster with them.

 

 

I had gathered lovely seashell stickers under my photo to highlight the beach them. On the right, I added my title using the awesome Summertime Thickers. My all time favorites are the mini phrase stickers what I found in the Clear Sticker Book. Under my photo, I have placed an empty journaling spot. I added my journaling and the date along with stickers from 6x12 Cardstock Sticker sheet and a pretty Charm.

 

 

To finish off my scrapbook layout I added border decoration using the awesome Stencils and oh so pretty Acrylic Paints. Using such mediums is out of my comfort zone so I didn’t go too wild. Probably it’s unusual to add finishing touches with stencil, but this just worked better for me. I mixed the Acrylic Paints with modeling paste to get texture. After I got the right substance I put it on the surface with a tiny spatula. I gently removed the stencil and woilà.

 

 

I had so much fun putting this page together! I hope you like what I created with Sunny Days collection. Make sure to try out the new Acrylic Paints because they have magical colors and they perfectly match the entire collection design. Thanks for stopping by!
