Fun in the Sun | Sunkissed Collection | Danni Visser
Hi there Cocoa Vanilla fans! Danni here with a layout using the amazing Sunkissed collection. My last share with you all was a layout featuring my signature style, so I thought this time I would do some things that are slightly out of my comfort zone! These include a white cardstock background, some ink blending and clean white space. It was really fun to try a different style and I really love the result.
I started with a white background and decided to jazz it up with a border using Summer Lights 12×12 patterned paper. I added some machine stitching around the edge for an extra detail. I had two 3×4 photos of myself and my son on an amusement park ride in the sun.
I added some photo mats to these using Feelin’ Fine and Bright Side 12×12 patterned papers. I went ahead and cut out the “Fun in the Sun” 3×4 card out of the Fun in the Sun 12×12 patterned paper cut apart sheet to use as a title card and distressed the edges for texture.
Next I took a hexagon stencil and some distress oxide inks for some fun ink blending on the background. I went with a combination of bright yellow, aqua and pink inks to compliment all the beautiful bright colours in this collection.
For embellishments I went straight to the gorgeous floral ephemera and started building some clusters around my photos. I also needed to add one at the bottom of my page because I had a little mishap with my sewing machine. Luckily it was easily covered with embellies! I decided to add the last of my tiny wood epoxy buttons to the centre of a large flower in each of the clusters. Love how this looks!
I only needed a couple of lines of journaling so I cut a label from the Fun in the Sun 12×12 patterned paper cut apart sheet and tucked it below my photo. Perfect spot for short journaling! I adore the Sunkissed puffy stickers so I sprinkled some of the tiny hearts in three places around my layout. To finish off the page I added three tiny word stickers from the accessory stickers around my photos.
I’m so happy with this bright layout! I hope you enjoyed joining me today as well. There is a process video on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio YouTube channel linked below if you would like to watch it all come together. Happy scrapping!
