Shine On | Daydream | Rachel Lowe

Hello CVS friends! A special mention to those still in lockdown, it certainly has been a tough few months here in Australia. I hope crafting is keeping you sane. Today I have a layout created with Daydream collection.

I found this gorgeous heart pie graph in the Silhouette Design Store and thought it perfect to use various papers all in one cut file! I have used Daisy Days, All A Flutter and Garden Variety papers.

Once I had adhered my heart, off centre, I set about creating a floral embellishment cluster to the top right of my base paper (yes I am back to white cardstock lol!). I used the die cut ephemera and used foam tape so these elements had dimension.

Once I added my 4×5 inch photo I set about creating a floral cluster cascading down my page, some of the top flowers added with foam tape so this cluster did not look ‘flat’. Having a whole pack of ephemera floral die cuts a certainly allows you to create larger and more interesting clusters. To make it even prettier I added some of the Daydream sequins. I also added some jewel drops to the centres.

To connect my heart with the floral clusters I added die cut butterflies ‘flying’ from one element to the other. Again I used foam tape and jewel drops on the butterfly wings.

I used the Accessory Sticker Sheet to add embellishments to ‘frame’ my photo, tucking some under my photo which again stops your layout looking ‘flat’. I of course had to add a rainbow finished off with one of the flairs from the collection. I added my title Shine On which is also from the accessory sticker sheet. Curving it around the top f the heart adds visual interest.

There is plenty of room to add two photos or a larger one on this heart, you could also make this heart larger if you have a cutting machine. You could use this design using the new These Days collection too.

I love creating pretty and girly layouts, this turned out just perfect, how could it not be pretty using such pretty product! Thank you for stopping in today, stay safe and stay safe, and keep on creating!
