XOXO | Midnight Collection | Anita Bownds

Hi crafty friends Anita here with you today sharing a floral layout using the midnight collection.
I always love this time of the year when the flowers are in bloom and the butterflies are flying about our garden full of life …for my layout I wanted the design to be light and shabby chic looking ..
I started off my cutting out a cut file from Paige Evans heart swirl from moonlight and then adhering it onto white cardstock that I trimmed down to add a border around it using the B side moonlight 

 

I then wanted to add this beautiful floral cut file from Paige Evans poppies I had on my desk so I decided to back it with glassine paper then backed again on to the floral pattern paper from the midnight 6×8 paper pad to give it a lighter look

 

I backed my 3×4 photo on pattered paper from the midnight 6×8 and shine bright and adhered both photo and floral cut file down at the same time then using the ephemera and accessory stickers I added them around my photo and background

 

I die cut a mini bow from the 6×8 paper pad and then added a chipboard heart to the middle to add to a paper clip
Then to finish off my layout I flicked black mist and added machine stitching around the border.

I hope I’ve given you some fun inspiration full of prettiness
