Big Heart | Daydream Collection | Michelle Stokes
Hello Hello! It’s Michelle here today to share with you a new layout that I created with our BRAND NEW collection – Daydream. I’d give ALL the heart eye emojis for this collection, it is so beautiful! I spent an entire night on the couch fussy cutting and loving over all the sweet floral clusters from the Garden Variety paper. So so pretty!
For this layout I felt the need to recreate an older layout of mine using circular elements grouped with florals, stickers and a little machine stitching. I started by choosing a couple different pattern papers Daisy Days, Sweet Serenity, All Aflutter and cut multiple circles from each one. I fussy cut the outer ring off 1 of each colour circle to create a smaller circle and an open circle, then arranged them in clusters within a triangular design on some white cardstock.
I slightly distressed the edges of each circle before adhering with double sided tape and machine stitched through the ones that overlapped the edge of the layout. I also stitched through a little on the open circles.
Before adding anymore to the layout I added in the photos, a couple of Leila from a few years back being as sweet and crazy as she can be. I adhered the photos to some of the yellow pattern paper Sun Shower and added one of the sticker tabs to the top left photo.
Next up I added in the title using cardstock title pieces from this collection along with some older white alpha stickers and some handwriting. I’ve adhered the cardstock pieces using foam tape to pop them up off the page and then machine stitched through the stickers to ensure they stay put on that layout in years to come, which also adds a little extra detail to the layout.
I then added the pretty floral clusters that were fussy cut from the Garden Variety paper to the groups of circles. In this cluster I also added a sweet flair button, ephemera heart & mini flower plus an accessory sticker strip.
In the cluster above the photo I used a mix of fussy cut florals with ephemera florals layered using different forms of adhesive. The ‘You are my sunshine’ element is from the accessory sticker sheet and one of the first embellishments I knew I wanted to mix into this layout.
Lastly the bottom cluster made using another mix of ephemera and fussy cut florals, sticker strip and heart. I added my usual splattering of gold ink all of the layout and called it complete.
Well friends thats all from me today. Thank you so much for stopping by to see the first layout I’ve created using our NEW Daydream Collection. You can find the details for this collection in the reveal post HERE. Hopefully it arrives at your favourite scrappy store real soon so that you can all get your craft on and create up a storm!
Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
