Living the Dream layout | Unforgettable collection | Anita Bownds

Hi crafty friends, Anita here with you today sharing a sweet layout using the beautiful unforgettable collection
The layout is all about my kitty Kushan who thinks Eve’s beanbag is one of his beds…I’m sure he probably thinks he’s on a big pink cloud. So Today I had to include the bows and tassels on my layout I decided on the bows As I had a idea of floating heart balloons in the air.
I started by selecting 3 pattern papers from the 6×8 paper pad and using a cut file from the silhouette design store and cut 3 heart balloons out then I hand stitched around each balloon using a matching colour thread then I added some twine to the back and double sided foam tape to pop it of the page then I layered them onto my trimmed white cardstock on a angle.

 

Then I matted my white on pattered paper sprightly and machine stitched around the border of the white cardstock  then using more patterned paper from the 6×8 paper pad I matted my photo on 2 different papers .
Then I added fussy cut flowers from paper glorious on each side of my photo

 

Then I pulled the twine down straight to the bottom of my photo and adhered my title from the ephemera pieces then I added accessory stickers and ephemera around the photo

 

Then I use 3 of the bows from the bows and tassels to add on each of my balloons then tucking flowers from the ephemera pack around the bows to add a extra pop of colour and to finish of the layout I added clear stickers and enamel dots

I hope I’ve given you some fun inspiration using the bows..
Happy crafting..xx
