Pursue | Storyteller Collection | Melissa Vining

Hi everyone, I know its February already, but this is my first post for this year and I just wanted to say Happy New Year!  I hope that 2023 is off to a great start for you!  Today I’m sharing a layout that I created with the beautiful Storyteller collection.  Every year I create a layout about myself for my word for the year.  This year my word is Pursue.  I used an alpha cut file from Just Nick Studio, and welded the letters together on Cricut Design Space.

I used used Cross It Off for my background paper and decided to hand stitch around the crosses in white embroidery thread. Love how this adds some subtle texture.

I created backed my title cut file with papers from the A5 Paper Stack.  I always love to feature beautiful papers.  I used several of the beautiful Chipboard Stickers to embellish around my photo.  My background is created with distress oxide ink and the trusty packaging technique.

I love the Die Cut Ephemera in this collection.  The little banner with flowers was perfect on the title.  I used one the phrases from the Accessory Stickers too.

You can watch my process video below.

Thanks for looking!
