Welcome and so happy to see you again on the Cocoa Vanilla blog today! It’s Josefine here and I’m sharing a new layout with you. For this girls pink layout I choose to work with the beautiful collection “Sunkissed. I really love the pink vibe on this happy page from me and my daughter.
I took a 12×12 watercolor paper and choose three pink colors of distress oxide to work with. The colors I used are, picked raspberry, kitch flamingo and spun sugar. I placed an ink pad on my white background and make a horizontal line. I do this with all the three different ink pads. Then I take a medium watercolor brush and blend the colors with each other by using a little bit of water. I splash some more with the colors by using my watercolor brush and then let the background dry by air. By splashing with water on your distress oxide and dabbing it dry with a piece of kitchen paper you create a super cool watercolor effect.
I used a cutfile by Paige Evans called “Beautiful” as part of my title. The title I choose for this layout calls “We look beautiful together on vacation” I really love the moments that I spend with my teenage daughter. These moments are very special and precious to me. I cut the cutfile with my Cricut Maker and backed it with yellow colored design paper. I color the alphas with the distress oxide “mustard seed” and then I stitch the alpha’s with light yellow sewing thread on my cutfile. The stitching details give my alpha’s more detail and dimensions.
I cut different pattern papers to size and placed it behind the photo from me and my daughter. I made a cluster on the right side of the photo with the gorgeous Die-cuts elements, stickers and figures from the Sunkissed collection. I select some more embellishments for extra decoration between the alpha’s.
I punched out a few butterflies from the lovely Sunkissed design papers and placed them in different places on my layout. Also I give my layout some white splatter with white gesso for a festive look.
I hope I was able to inspire you with this happy pink girls layout with the fresh and colorful Sunkissed collection and give you a creative idea for an easy mixed media background. Of course, I hope to see you next time on the blog with a new project! Can’t wait to see your beautiful projects on the Cocoa Vanilla FB groep! I wish you a very happy and crafty day friends!
