Life is a Beach! | Sunkissed Collection | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends, it may be winter here in Australia but in my craft room it is summer! I am still using my sun kissed collection and loving it!

I was set the challenge to scrap lift Tarrah, it took me ages to decide on a layout as she has created so many gorgeous layouts. Finally I settled on this one.

And here is my take on her sketch (I may have taken a little creative license!).

I used a palm leaf cut file from the Silhouette design store. So I could lift it somewhat (so it didn’t appear ‘flat’, I cut one in white and then another (using the off set function) using the Sunny Days paper. As in Tarrah’s layout I used a project life card from the collection, I just repositioned mine.

Once I had added my photo I created an embellishment cluster tucking die cuts under my photo, adding wooden epoxy button and finishing off adding a clear sticker paint brush stroke.

I next created a tropical floral cluster, the larger one being a cut file and the others from the floral ephemera pack adding some of the flowers and leaves from the Puffy Stickers pack.

To finish off I added some puffy stickers on my photo, added a die cut ticket and then lightly splashed my layout with some white paint. If you like multiple photos you could replace the project life card and add another photo! Isn’t it mazing how different a sketch can look just by changing the collection!

Thank you for stopping by today and see you again soon!
