Right Now Layout

Hi there,

I absolutely love it when inspiration strikes and a layout you have in mind just comes together so easy, full of fussy cutting and hand stitched flowers I just love the texture of the cotton threads. I’m using a photo of our kitty Luna following me up the driveway and around the garden.

I started my layout with white cardstock and a cut file from Paige Evans CIRCLES PETALS BACKGROUND 259811 and the Pink Paislee truly grateful collection. I fussy cut a bunch of flowers from the 12x12 paper pad and a few leaves from another patterned paper. my Idea i has was to have clusters of flowers around the photo

The stitching process was lengthy but it was worth it in the end

I then add a strip of the paper 13 across the centre of the layout then adding a few strips of the paper 18 on both sides then finally adding the cut file on both sides to add that extra texture white on white pattern, then I machine stitched across each border of the paper 13

Then using double sided foam tape I started layering the flowers in 2 corners of the photo and and a third cluster to the left along with fussy cut leaves.. I add a few scattered butterflies and heart and star stickers from the 12x12 cardstock stickers and my title using the puffy phrase stickers and to the centre of the big flowers I added a wood button to add more dimension.
