SO Sweet | Storyteller Collection | Michelle Stokes

HI All, its Michelle back here today with a new layout share featuring out BRAND NEW Storyteller Collection. Such a stunningly beautiful collection full of feminine patterns and oh so many sweet florals. And, if you know me well enough, you would absolutely be right in thinking that I jumped straight into the fussy cutting of ALL the florals before I even started the layout.

I thought it was time that this sweet little furry face made another appearance on the blog. Firstly because she’s just so stinkin cute, but also due to the lack of decent photos I’m getting from a certain 11 year old in my household haha.

To create the layout I grabbed the SPRING FLING and OH MY HEART papers and cut giant triangles (from the reverse side patterns) to overlap the majority of the bottom of the white cardstock background, adding machine stitching down the lightly distressed edges. I chose these two designs as they complimented each other well, and worked perfectly as a base for the giant clusters of fussy cut florals to stand out

I used the green pattern paper from the A5 paper stack to create layers under the black and white photo. Rather than using 1 full piece, I cut them into different sized shapes and layered randomly together before adhering to the layout using pieces of foam sheet for a little extra dimension.

I created a long line of floral clusters sprouting out from either end of the photo stack in a diagonal line using fussy cut pieces from both the 12×12 and A5 version of the SPRING FLING paper

I also added some fussy cut butterflies (FLY AWAY) , puffy stickers, accessory stickers and ephemera pieces to create added interest within the clusters.

I added more florals, ephemera, puffy and accessory stickers to fill up the open white space at the top of the layout

And lastly the title, using the awesome foam title stickers. So many title combinations to be made from one very versatile set, definitely an item to add to cart if you are purchasing this collection.

Here’s a closer look at all the pretty florals under the photo. You can see I’ve also added the usual sprinkle of gold ink to finish it all off.

And one final look at the whole layout

Well thats all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the first creation I’ve made using our BRAND NEW Collection – Storyteller. Cant wait to see what you all create with it too

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
