You’re Awesome | No Limits Collection | Melissa Vining

Hello, its Melissa here and I’m thrilled to be sharing my first layout created with the gorgeous new ‘No Limits’ collection!! When my 12 year old daughter saw this collection she told me she loved it and I had to create a layout for her with it!  I was so happy to do this and decided to scrap her first day of school photo taken at the beginning of February of this year.

I decided to showcase some of the B sides of the patterned papers, and really wanted to create a rainbow.  My cut file is from Cricut Design Studio.  I selected suitable rainbow colours, which in the case of this collection created a boho rainbow.  The papers I used are ‘Spark’, ‘Latitude’, ‘Nebula’, ‘Stardust’, and ‘Eclipse’.

I used dimensional foam tape behind the thicker bows, and glued the thinner bows directly to the paper.  This provides some dimension and interest.

I used water colour paints applied with my brush after I adhered the bows in matching colours.  I tried to make this appear as random as possible, which is easier said than done!

I kept my embellishing very simple so as to not take away from the photo or the rainbow.  I used ‘Chipboard’, ‘Die Cut Ephemera’, ‘Puffy Stickers’, a ‘Wood Button’ and an ‘Accessory Sticker’.  My title is from the ‘Die Cut Titles’.

I love how this layout turned out!  No Limits should definitely not be limited to just masculine layouts, it works for feminine layouts, and I also think it would work for outdoor adventure pages.

Take care
