Here is the layout I created using Celebrate. It's full of gorgeous florals, so I couldn't resist fussy cutting out this large flower cluster. I used a patterned paper as my background that has a lot of white space and pretty paint brush strokes around the outer edges. I tore a big piece of this beautiful ombre paper for the top portion. I used the Pinkfresh Studio Mini Ink Cubes to add some matching splatters around the flower cluster as well as stamp some large flower images.

I didn't use any gesso on the background. I did use some separate textured white cardstock to stamp the flowers on. I stamped them using Regal Kiss and Coral Reef. I very lightly used my water brush to blend some of the lines. I wanted them to blur a little, and I love how that turned out. I fussy cut them out and tucked them under the big flower cluster.

I used a few of the Celebrate die cuts here as well as a few of the phrase stamps. I mixed a few different colored threads here to match that deep purple color and then added in a short title using some white puffy alphas from another Pinkfresh collection. All the white splatters are from some white paint I watered down.

I also added in some thread that matched the dark orange/brown color. Normally I'm not a fan of brown, but this shade goes so well with the other colors in this flower cluster. I created a cluster down at the bottom of the page using another stamped flower, a fussy cut flower, a few die cuts and more thread.

To get the stamped flowers to stand out a bit more from the big cluster, I painted a bit around them with white paint. It's hard to tell, but the effect it created makes a difference, I think.

I love white splatters on solid colors like this! I used a floral die cut frame as a little border layer around the edges of my photos.

These flowers and leaves here are also from the large floral cluster I fussy cut. I only used about half of it down below, so I didn't want to waste the other part of it.

Here are a few more close-ups of all the beautiful goodness!

I have a process video here so you can see exactly how I made this. I hope it inspires you in some way. This is a beautiful collection, and I just know you'll love it!
