Family Days | Daydream Collection | Michelle Stokes

Hello Hello! It’s Michelle back here today with another layout share using the wonderful Daydream Collection. I’ve been itching to use the awesome rainbow paper – Over the Rainbow – since it was shared with us on release day. It’s a paper that’s been used and shared over and over again because its just so darn sweet! Here’s a closer look at what I made..

I started by hand stitching every second heart on the outer arch of the rainbow, one of which was different to the others but I ended up covering most of it with the floral cluster. I cut each individual arch off the original pattern paper, lightly distressed the edges, bent the sides up slightly and adhered each piece to a sheet of white cardstock.

Next I added the photo of my sweet little family using the woodgrain frame from the Ephemera kit. I added some foam tape to the edges of the back of the frame before adhering to the photo so it wasn’t sitting flat on top then adhered the whole piece to the layout using more foam for a little dimension.

I worked on the floral cluster after that using a fussy cut piece from the Garden Variety paper along with some extra florals found in the Ephemera pack and some sweet tiny butterflies from the 6×8 version of All Aflutter

I used cardstock title pieces plus a sticker to create the title, adding a puffy heart to the right

Then finished off the layout by creating a mini cluster of florals, hearts and butterflies with a banner and sequins in the bottom left corner. A little ‘pot of gold’ if you can call it that.

And here’s a final look at the full layout..

Well that’s all from me today, Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my take on this well loved pattern paper – Over the Rainbow. Be sure to share your creations using it too by tagging us on Instagram or sharing within the CVS Facebook group.

Until Next time, Happy Scrapping!
