Summer | Bohemian Dream Collection | Anna Blades

Hi CVS friends!!

Anna here today with you. I hope you all are doing well. Today’s focus is texture! I was thinking about something to give texture to my page instead of texture paste and I thought that thread would be a good idea. Then I found this cut file designed by Paige Evans in my Silhouette library and it inspired me the whole page with the Bohemian Dream collection.

For the base of my layout, I used the colorful Abstract paper. Then, I cut the cut file from white cardstock and trimmed 1 cm. off each side and glued it on top of the patterned paper.  The paper is so bold, but this cut file makes it a little lighter but you still see the print.

I had run out of the flowers from the Die cut ephemera pack, so I fussy cut some flowers from the Abundant paper to embellish the layout. I love this tropical look and I decided to die cut palm leaves with my Big Shot. I also added a flair button from the collection and enamel dots.

Let’s go to the title. I looked for a font that would help me to wrap it with thread and cut it with my Silhouette Cameo. I cut the word “summer” twice to glue it on top of each other to make it thicker. I used embroidery thread in gradient blue.

Then, I stacked all the letters on vellum paper and raised it with foam to make it stand out. I completed the title with a chipboard and the word “moments” from the Boho bits paper. Once it was all glued to the page, I raised the tips of the cut file in the spots with no decorations to add more texture. It’s so bumpy when you touch it!

I really love how it turned out! Love all the texture and the summery vibes! I hope it gives you some inspiration. Thank you so much for stopping by today. See you soon!
