You are beautiful | Heart & Home Layout | Anna Komenda
Hello, hello! It’s Anna here with my first ever project made with brand new “Heart & Home” collection. Fall is slowly coming to the northern hemisphere and this line will be just perfect for all of my pictures taken in September and October. However, before trees will hange their colors and I will decorate my home with pumpkins, I decided to scrapbook photo of my beautiful daughter, taken during our summer travels. This collection is versatile enough to be able to scrapbook with it almost any theme.
I just love the new floral Specialty Printed Vellum and I knew I need to use it right away! As it’s a semi transparent material, it looks best on light or white background. Pattern papers may alter colors of the print, creating new and unwanted shades on your project. I grabbed my small scissors and spend some time fussy cutting flowers and leaves out of it.
I chose white 12*12 paper sheet and applied a little bit of color using brick stencil and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. I wanted to create very subtle background in the area where my composition will be. After it was done, I was ready to start adding flowers.
I combined them with another amazing product – Titles With Gold Foil! They are so pretty so I turned them into the part of my composition, picking the ones that match the photo. They all describe my daughter. Each one is glued with a layer of foam adhesive to add more dimension to my project. In between the words, I added my vellum flowers. You need to remember to use a proper adhesive to mount them as wet glue will make vellum curl and it will not look good. I used a glue dots.
I didn’t use any pattern paper while making this page. Titles and vellum florals are the main decoration here. I also reached for some Die Cut Ephemeras to add more defined splashes of colors. Everything is finished with cute and tiny Puffy Stickers.
First layout of new collection is always a “test project” for me and I need to discover my favorite patterns and elements. I already have few more ideas for “Heart & Home” collection and I can’t wait to share them with you! It’s all for today. Thank you so much for spending your precious time with me and see you in two weeks!
