Happy Heart | Storyteller Collection | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends! Today I am sharing a grid type layout using hexagons. I am using the beautiful Storyteller collection.

I have used a hexagon cut file from the Silhouette design store which I cut in white. I used the A5 paper pad to paper piece the hexagons, I love how you have smaller print designs in the paper pad and it saves your 12×12 paper for larger projects. I also fussy cut some elements from the project life cards.

I created embellishment clusters on the hexagons using them as a grid. I used foam tape to add many of the embellishments as it adds dimension. Using different embellishment types such as floral ephemera, wood epoxy  buttons and accessory stickers adds texture.

I love using the word and phrase sentiments from the accessory stickers as my journaling. I fussy cut some butterflies and added over my page. I decided to cut my photo as a hexagon also and matted it so it would contrast against the smaller hexagons. I then created a floral cluster over and under my photo.

This photo shows the visual impact using foam tape and different textures on your layout can make, it really does stop it look ‘flat’. Also layering is a key, layering under and over.

Lastly I used the foam title stickers to create my title, the black foam is a wonderful contrast against a white background. A simple layout that was fun to put together!

Thank you for stopping by and see you again later in the month.
