Sweet Life – Layout by Michelle

Hello 🙂

I have a layout created with Spectrum Gardenia to show you today. I just love all the bright, vibrant colours and they really make a layout pop.

I have created a few layouts from this range already, but haven’t created anything that shows all the colours together. I have used the Spectrum Gardenia Painted Foundations paper to create my layout. I framed my photo first with a square frame from the Curators Key Lined Chipboard Frame pack, which was added to the page with foam tape in order to tuck in elements under the frame.

I then rubbed on leaves from the Spectrum Gardenia 6×8 leaves rub-on set – in matching colours to the page before I added Ephemera, laser cuts and chipboard to match up against the colours. I have also added a ticket from the Essential Fern Ticket box. There are many layers, which have been added with foam tape to create dimension – especially the butterflies.

I have carried the heart theme through the colours by bringing out the saying “My Heart Could Burst” – each of the heart buttons (from the Ephemera pack) have twine added to them and they have been added with foam tape to the page. There are also chipboard hearts added with foam tape. I have also added coloured stitching and the rub-on pattern down the side of the page from the 6×8 Gardenia Essential rub-on pages. There are leaves added from the leaves laser cut pack, butterflies from the butterfly laser cut pack, and florals from the floral laser cut pack.

I finished off by adding the chipboard title “Sweet Life” under the photo frame – which I sanded a little bit.
