Crate Paper Heritage Layout

The Heritage line from Crate Paper by Maggie Holmes has exquisite colors and I tried out a modern design to highlight them. 

Notice the curved shapes in the background. I custom-matched watercolor to match the paper in the Heritage collection. 

STEP ONE: Hand cut your shapes from three colors of patterned paper. Stitch around the shapes. Lay them on the background without adhering to get an idea where to add your watercolor splotches. 

STEP TWO: ADD watercolor in curved shapes around the background to coordinate with the patterned paper shapes. 

STEP THREE: Add the photo and embellishments as shown above, and journal on the back or facing page if you like. 

Thanks for visiting today, and happy crafting!

Scrapbook Page and Process Video Share: Clique Kits February 2016

Hello and welcome to my layout share and 

a Fri-yay video day!! 

Yay for friday!

Using the Clique Kits February 2016 "Hot Mess" kit available here

http://www.cliquekits.com/monthly-kit.html

 The Maggie Holmes Shine Collection in the Feb. 2016 Clique Kits was perfect for showcasing this "Hello Love" layout. That hubs though, quite the ham! I took the 6x6 Shine paper pad (add-on available in the Clique Kits Store) and backed one of the exclusive cut files for this month. Love that you get several to choose from, designed exclusively for Clique Kits by @JustNickStudio!

 Stacked a glitter heart, from the  chipboard add-on, on top of the wood veneer that comes in your kit to create a title.

 Close up of the watercolor added using the negative from the cut file as a template. I chose to keep each heart in tints and shades of one color.

 Close up of the embellishments. You get a full ephemera pack in this kit!
