I began with one of the exclusive cut files coming very soon tot he Pinkfresh Shop. They should be loaded any day now :) I love the fun geometric shape combined with the pretty floral. I paired that with some of the new Adorable frames washi tape. It matches the geometric shape perfectly, and each shape has the prettiest watercolor effects. I rolled the large washi onto some scrap cardstock and cut the shapes out. I used them as layers behind my photo. I used those colors to determine my background color choices.
I used some smooth white cardstock as a background, and I coated most of it with clear gesso. Once it dried, I used the Liquid Watercolors to create a fun rainbow color scheme. I used a brush to apply the color and also so create splatters. Once that dried, I glued the cut file over it. I finished it off with some machine stitching using metallic gold thread.
Here are some embellishments from the Office Hours collection. I used a puffy sticker, a die cut and a fabric die cut here right on top of the photo. I also used another die cut as part of the title. I also layered some white tissue paper behind the photo for a fun messy layer. I raised the photo up by adding some adhesive foam under it. Finally, I tucked some tangled thread under the photo.
Here you can see the dimension from the layering. I love how the watercolor turned out...so pretty and vibrant! I decided to add some gold splatters, so I watered down some metallic gold acrylic paint and used a brush to splatter it.
I tucked in some more thread on the right side here and then finished off the title. I mixed and matched with some of the puffy alphas from the Office Hours collection.
I layered the floral part of the cut file under the photo and then tucked in a floral die cut from Just a Little Lovely.
Here are some more close-ups of all the details :)
I did create a cluster under the title...I used pieces from each collection again. I used the Liquid Watercolors to paint the blue flower here on this die cut, and then I popped it up with adhesive foam.
And that's it! I hope this gives you some ideas for your next project. It was a lot of fun to put together, and it was a fun challenged to mix and match collections. Be sure to check out my process video here if you're interested:
Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great day!
