Happy | Merry & Bright Collection | Anna Blades

Hi CVS friends!

It’s Anna here with you. I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas surrounded by your loved ones. For today’s project, I’ve created a new layout featuring the “Merry & Bright” collection, full of pinks and greens.

I started with a watercolor sheet, making a mixed media background using pigment powders in this peach color matching the collection. Then, I made splatters in two green tones with dye inks and gold mist.

I choose a picture of me and my little daughter (one of my resolutions for the new year is to take more photos of myself because I’m always behind the camera). I framed it with one of the 3×4 double sided cards and a piece of tissue paper.

Cocoa Vanilla floral die cuts are the best. I would never get tired of using them. So, I created a big floral cluster in the lower-left corner of the picture and another in the upper left corner. Also, I added three puffy stars and a couple of Christmas trees.

Between the two clusters, I placed a lovely flair button with two hearts. Finally, I stacked a sticker from the accessory stickers in the upper right corner of the photo.

To create my title, I fussy cut the word “happy” from the Season’s Greetings paper, and placed it below the floral cluster, raising all the letters with foam squares. Below it, I put another sticker from the accessory stickers. For the final touch, I made a little cluster in the upper right corner of the page with some die cuts from the die cut ephemera pack.

I hope you like this sweet page and thank you so much for stopping by today.

Enjoy these days, relax and craft! See you in 2021!
