Sweet | More Than Words collection | Anna Blades

Hi friends! Anna here today with a new layout! One of the things I like the most about spring are the cherry blossoms. I love all these tiny pink flowers. And I was inspired by them to make this page featuring the pretty More than words collection.

I chose the B side from the Effervescent paper for my background. This gray chevron is just perfect. I trimmed half an inch from each side of the paper and backed the layout with a gray card-stock. Then I stitched all around the page with my sewing machine.

To make the layered flowers I cut the Darling Buds paper with my Silhouette Cameo. They’re a Paige Evan’s design. Once I had all the layers, I raised the tips of the petals to give them more dimension, glued all the layers and put a white enamel in the middle of each flower.

All around the flowers, I placed some leaves that I diecut out of white card stock and vellum. I love how they look peeking from behind the flowers.

Behind the photo I put tissue paper with white polka dots. You can hardly see it, but I think it’s a nice delicate touch. I also added a doily and a label behind the photo.

On the right side of the picture I stacked two stickers from the sticker sheet, because the colors and the sentiment were perfect for the page.

Like I did on my previous layout, I used one of the chipboard words for my title, but this time I chose it in black with the black outlined heart. Instead of journaling, I added two typewritten phrases from the sticker sheet with two heart shaped enamel dots on each side, and stitched them with my sewing machine.

The final touch was an adorable chipboard heart with tiny polka dots and a soft pink enamel dot on the upper left side of the photo.

I really hope you like it and inspires you to create a floral layout, which is always a winner.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Take care and stay safe!

See you,

Anna
