Go Floral with Make Your Mark

Hey there, Bella fans!  Missy here, and I'm so excited to share a layout featuring the new Make Your Mark collection.  If you're a fan of the artsy painted look, then this line is for you.  My favorite paper in the whole collection is this gorgeous Magnifique floral paper.  I just had to fussy cut out some of the large flower clusters and use them as a background design.  You can't go wrong with pink, yellow and orange flowers!

I used a white cardstock background and just added a little bit of blue watercolor on it.  I used the packaging technique without any type of gesso first.  My main goal was to have lots of bright blue coming out from behind the flowers.  It's a wonderful contrast color and really makes the flowers pop.  I used a sweet color photo of my daughter that I thought went nicely with these colors.

To add a bit of interest, detail and texture, I machine stitched around all the flowers with matching thread.  That is a great way to jazz up your layout, and you could even do this by hand if you don't have a sewing machine.  I embellished around the photo with some of the black & white striped Designer Washi Tape.  I also added a few Fundamentals stickers here and a few Puffy Stickers.

I used a die cut from the Paper Pieces pack for my title, and I just adore that shiny gold!  Okay, I must admit that I am SO pumped about the new Puffy Hearts Stickers!  I added a few here on top of my photo.  They come in so many amazing colors!  I also added some gold splatters.

I added my journaling down here under the photo.  I love how this leaf looks with the center stitched down.  That allowed me to curl up the edges for a more realistic look.  I also added some green and aqua thread for an extra pop of color and texture.

I created a small cluster at the very bottom of the page.  I used a strip of the floral paper, a few die cuts, heart stickers and puffy stickers.  I brought down all the colors from the main area of the layout down here so the bottom of the page wouldn't be so bare.  Plus all those hearts are adorable!
