Beautiful Life | Daydream collection | Mandy Melville
Hello everyone!
Mandy here today to share my layout inspired by our ‘All things Delightful’ April mood board. Here’s a reminder of of the beautiful mood board designed by Rachel.
I was inspired by the gorgeous images of the flowers and the rainbow in the mood board, as well as the use of soft pastel colours. I couldn’t go past the gorgeous Daydream collection for this layout, and of course the Over the Rainbow paper was just perfect! The photo that I chose to scrapbook is a selfie of my hubby and I, taken when we had a little mini getaway for a few days last year.
Using that gorgeous rainbow as my background made this layout come together so quickly and easily! I started by matting my photo using the Up in the Clouds paper and adhering it on the right hand side of the rainbow. As I often do, I used craft foam under the photo to give it some added dimension.
Next I fussy cut some flowers out of the stunning Garden Variety paper and created a beautiful floral cluster on the top right hand corner of the photo. By tucking some flowers underneath the photo and adding others on top it again gives the cluster some lovely dimension and interest.
On the bottom right hand corner of the photo I created a small embellishment cluster using a die cut house and banner, as well as a couple of sweet little Puffy Stickers from the These Days collection.
To balance out the larger floral cluster, I added another smaller one in the bottom left hand corner of the layout. This cluster was also fussy cut from the Garden Varity paper. The positioning of the two florals clusters gives the layout a diagonal flow, drawing the viewer’s eye from the top right hand corner, down through the photo to the bottom left.
For my title I decided on using words from the lovely Die Cut Titles pack. These are so versatile and make it super easy to add a beautiful title to your page. I used the words ‘Beautiful Life’ which perfectly summed up this photo.
I finished the layout off by adding some die cut butterflies and hearts, as well as some Puffy Heart Stickers. I also added my typed journaling strips in the upper right hand corner of the layout.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope that you’ve been inspired by the April mood board, and that you’ll join us by sharing your own layout in our FB Cocoa Vanilla Studio Community group!
