I used some light pink cardstock as my base and added lots of Shimmerz to it. I used all three colors from the Color Kit after smudging down some white gesso. I used the packaging technique as well as spraying and splattering directly on to the paper. I went pretty simple with the design by tucking in some fussy cut flowers around the photos.
I resized the frames in the Silhouette software before cutting them so they would fit over my photos. I added some adhesive foam and tissue paper behind them to add some dimension and interest. These flowers were pretty easy to fussy cut from patterned paper. I also added some of the butterflies from the Chipboard Stickers and Puffy Stickers as well as some sequins.
I love these colors...just so pretty! I wanted to bring out the colors in the papers, and the Shimmerz on the background did just that. I kept everything pretty minimal on this page...sometimes you don't need a lot.
I also went simple with the title. I combined some of the Hip Kit exclusive alpha stickers with some of the Turn the Page stickers from the Sticker Book. I traced around "this" with a gold metallic pen to make them stand out a little more. I also added in some of the Amy Tangerine puffy heart stickers and some tangled thread.
Here's one last close-up of the left side...a pretty butterfly and some sequins :)
I hope this inspires you create a fun background to match your papers and embellishments. It was fun to make :) Here's my process video if you'd like to check out...
Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great week!
