Sweet Paige / Hip Kit Club

Happy Wednesday, friends!  I'm back today with a new layout for Hip Kit Club using the 2019 July Hip Kits.  I wanted to scrap a soft colored page featuring some of the blue elements in the kits.  I started with one of the watercolored Pinkfresh Studio papers.  I tore a chunk of it and attached it to a sheet of white cardstock.  I covered a lot of the background with white gesso so I could add some of the Lindy’s Stamp Gang Sunburst Sprays.  I mostly wanted blue on the background, so I mixed some of the Blue Hawaiian Blue Spray from the Color Kit with a few blue Shimmerz from previous Color Kits.  I also created a few orange/yellow areas using the Yellow Rose of Texas mixed with Hibiscus Rose, both from Lindy’s in the Color Kit.

I did lots of fussy cutting here.  I wanted to have bits and pieces cascading vertically down the torn edge, so I cut some flowers, circles and shapes from various papers.  I also added in a few of the One Canoe Two Rub-Ons for added detail.  Some of the flowers I popped off the page using adhesive foam.

I used a few Pocket Life cards as layers behind the photo and added foam under that as well.  Here you can see some splatters.  I created this orange color by mixing the yellow and pink spray together.

I went short and simple with my title.  I used the Pinkfresh Studio Puffy Stickers, and I just love the mix of fonts here.

Overlapping flowers is one of my favorite things to do.  I love the variety here, and by just gluing down the centers the petals are easily bent up for dimension.

Here’s a closer look at the blue on the background.  I love the effect of using a few different shades of blue.  I always recommend purchasing the Color Kit each month if you love mixed media because the previous colors are almost always going to match newer kits!

I love how this rub-on turned out on the background.  It went on very smoothly and the way it looks over the mixed media is so neat.

I punched this piece from a Pocket Life card.  I added some foam under it to raise it up.  I love how it stands out against the blue ink.

One last close-up of all the details :)

I hope this inspires you in some way!  Have you fussy cut anything from any of the papers in your kit yet?  Flowers are always a winner when it comes to making your own embellishments like this.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great Wednesday!
