Sweet – Layout by Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hi there.

I am soooo loving this beautiful Vintage Artistry Tranquility collection – such pretty, soft colours.

Sweet - Layout by Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

When I saw the Tranquility laser cut flowers, I just knew I needed to use these on my layout. The base of the layout is done with the Bravado paper from the 12×12 collection pack. The photo was matted onto cards from the Ephemera pack and then adhered to the paper with foam tape to the centre of the matt – this would allow me to add the laser cut flowers under the photo matt with foam tape and then create the flower cluster around the photo.

I started with the bigger pieces to each side of the photo and then added the single flowers and leaves and built up the flower frame – using foam tape to create dimension;

I love the long bubble flowers and the single stems, these were all added to hang out and down also with foam tape.

In among the cluster, I have also added chipboard pieces and a ticket from the Eucalyptus Ticket Essentials pack. The lace doily is from the laser cut elements and I cut this in half and added one part at the top and the other part at the bottom.
I also added rub-ons to the Bravado paper – around the photo and the edges of the paper. I have also added strips of Tranquility washi tape to the top and bottom of the paper.

I finished off adding the chipboard title “Sweet” and some crystal beads.
