Today I want to share a layout that I created with the Hope & Kindness collection. This was a featured collection a few years ago for National Scrapbooking Month and to be honest, I just cannot be done with it. It is one of those collections that to me stands the test of time. And look closely, the collection includes a textured cardstock that literally MAKES the layout Pop!
Speaking of that textured cs, it is important to note that I did not layer, nor waste, all that beautiful Peach cs. Instead, I got creative and cut a 1/4" border on three sides and adhere that to the top of the Kraft textured cs. It saved me so mcuh cs that I could incorporate the same cardstock for other pieces, and still have some to spare for a 5" x 7" card or two. (stay tuned later to see these cards).
Note: to see the pictures from a larger viewpoint, click on the photos and they will open up with a large view in a new window.
For the flowers, I wanted a more uniform look so I cut the white edge, or rim, off of the single flower stickers. That way, when I cut additional flowers from within the cluster stickers, all of the flowers looked the same. I was really happy with how this look pulled together. The power of a sticker right?
