Egg Hunt | No Limits Collection | Danni Visser
Hi Cocoa Vanilla fans! Danni here with an Easter themed layout using the incredible No Limits collection. This collection may not be traditionally themed towards tEaster, but with a little creativity you can challenge yourself to create a gorgeous holiday layout!
For this one I took inspiration from the exploding star pattern on Big Bang 12×12 patterned paper and decided to add some sparkle using hand stitching. I pierced holes following the starburst pattern on the paper, then threaded them using a running stitch with some teal and metallic silver embroidery thread, adding sparkly sequins into the stitching as I went. I added some further interest by adding some ink splatters in soft blue and metallic silver to match the thread I used previously.
Stars are a great universal shape that can be used for pretty much any kind of layout. I took it one step further and cut my three photos into star shapes, placing one of them within the star shape on the patterned paper and the other two backed using the A5 paper stack patterned papers. I also added dimensional foam to give them added height.
For my title I wanted to add something small as my layout was already quite busy, so I took the yellow paper from the A5 paper stack and a small alphabet die set to custom make a small title. I used the same die set and yellow craft foam to create a foam backing for each of the letters, then glued them to the paper letters for a DIY dimensional alpha title. Super easy and effective!
To further embellish my photos I added some larger star outline shapes from the die cut ephemera and layered them over my two smaller photos, rotating them slightly for an interesting layered effect. To finish off the layouts, I added some small stars from the chipboard stickers, followed by some small die cut ephemera stars and finally a couple of puffy sticker stars. I scattered these around each of my star-shape photos for extra detail and visual interest.
I hope you enjoyed this non-traditional take on an Easter layout. I’m in love with all the stars and the extra sparkly details. You can watch the layout come together in the process video on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio YouTube channel linked below. Have a wonderful Easter and happy scrapping!
