Chill Out | Sunkissed Collection | Raquel Bowman

Hey everyone, it’s Raquel here and today I am sharing my latest layout with you. For this Throwback Thursday I was inspired by a previous layout I created and also the ‘Sunkissed’ collection. A throwback in two ways, how fun!

Here is the layout that I created:

The subject of this layout are my two kiddies taken in the last couple of months following a release of a lockdown here in regional Victoria. We took advantage of having a day where we could travel a short distance and went to a coastal town about an hour or so from home. Of course the kids were wanting to sample the local ice cream shop! Yum!

I was really inspired by the fringe layers that I created on a layout a couple of years ago and wanted to have a go featuring them on a layout again.

The fringe look can be created using simple fine tip scissors or you can use herb scissors like I have to create a nice even fringe.

To embellish the page I have used a combination of the mainly the ephemera pieces, floral ephemera pieces, puffy stickers and the accessory stickers.

I wish I had a gazillion packs of these florals. Aren’t they totally stunning! So bright and perfect for this summer themed layout. I love to adhere these in a variety of dimensions by using different foam adhesives.

I was excited to have the perfect use for the ice cream ephemera piece!

For the title of the page wanted something that would stand out enough against the fringe layers on the page which as quite dominating. The gold glitter sticker titles are so gorgeous and I decided these would work on this layout.

Of course I had to frame my layout on a patterned paper. I love how it provides a finished look to a page.

Thanks so much for stopping by the CVS Blog today. I hope this layout inspired you.
