This Sweet Beautiful Girl / Pinkfresh Studio

Happy Monday, friends!  Here's my newest layout for Pinkfresh Studio using the new Noteworthy collection.  It's such a beautiful line...oh my gosh!  When I can't decide on which papers to use, I just try to create a design that allows me to use a lot of them.  Punches are awesome for that!  I used a circle punch to create these fun little banners to string across the page.

I used smooth white cardstock as my base, and I used the Liquid Watercolors to add some watercolor goodness to it.  I first applied clear gesso.  I mixed the Bubble Gum & Lavender together to get that pretty pinkish-purple color.  I mixed in tad bit of Candy Apple and some white acrylic paint drops.  Once that dried, I cut the circles in half and arranged them into banners.

I used a lot of the Ephemera Die Cut flowers & leaves here beside the photo as well as this cute bird.  I did add some adhesive foam behind my photo to raise it up off the page.  I used some tangled thread in pink and yellow here to add more texture and color.

I ran each half-circle through my edge distresser to create some messy texture to them.  I lightly glued the edges down and then machine stitched with white thread.  I always love to stitch through banners like this!  I found another adorable bird here...a Puffy Sticker.  And I love that it's yellow.  I love that pop of color right there.

By only gluing and stitching the straight edges, I could easily bend up the circle parts.  This makes them much more dimensional and gives them the effect of blowing in the breeze :)  I used some of the multi-colored small Puffy Alphas here for a title and added in a sticker.

Since my photo had a lot of black on it, I was able to layer a few things on top of it.  I used a circle sticker here with a heart epoxy sticker on top of it as well as more leaf die cuts.  I also used this cute green camera puffy sticker, more pink thread and some enamel dots.  All of these goodies are in the Noteworthy collection.

More close-ups of all the beautiful banners :)  I wrote a little bit of journaling here along the curved lines using a black fine-tip Sharpie.

I couldn't stop myself from adding more things....haha.  Here's another puffy sticker.  I seriously love every single piece in this collection.

 More die cuts, puffy stickers & enamel dots down here.  You can see the difference adding adhesive foam makes.

And a few more...

I hope this inspires you to get your hands on this collection...it's definitely one of my favorites.  I love how this turned out!
