Chill Out | Sunkissed Collection | Melissa Vining

Hello everyone!! Its Melissa here and its well and truely winter here in the south of New Zealand, so I thought it was time to create another summer layout with the gorgeous Sunkissed collection!! This time its an inside photo of my daughter making breakfast, and one of the best things about being on holiday is that everyday is chilled with no time pressure to be anywhere or do anything.  This week we are featuring 3 layouts created with the beautiful “Feelin’ Fine” paper and I chose to use a cut file by Paige Evans called “Corner Doily”.

I backed the cut out doily with white card stock in order to provide a contrast to the busy patterned paper.

Using the patterned paper as a full background meant that this layout had the potential to be very busy.  In order to avoid this I printed my photo as a large square, and backed it with “Fun in the Sun” and a dark blue paper from the “A5 Paper Stack”.    I also used one of the “Pocket Cards” for my journalling.

I embellished with lots of “Floral Ephemera”, and I cut a lot of them in half to get more use from them.

I was really happy to get some of the “Die Cut Ephemera” onto my page, especially the watermelon and orange slice!

I created my title with two of the “Glitter Foam Title Stickers” which were perfect for the theme of my page!!  My final touch was to add some ink splatters in grey and black.

I made a process video which you can watch below.

I hope you enjoyed my summery layout!
