Hi everyone! When the Bella Creative Team were given the task of using gorgeous gold foil pieces on a project this week, I knew just what I wanted to do. In my internet travels, I had saved an image of a cake that had some gold detail and I knew it would give me great inspiration for this project.
I'm excited to share the layout with you today as well as a look at just how I interpreted the inspiration piece and applied it to my layout!
Would you like to take a peek at the inspiration? Well here it is, along with some text I added to show you exactly what I was taking from the inspiration.

So I came into this project knowing that I wanted a flower cluster to the left of the layout, some sort of border (with gold detail) across the layout and a gold scripted title to the bottom right of the layout!
Of course when you want gold detail on a project, you have to use the gorgeous, AMAZING Make Your Mark collection!
For the flower cluster, I arranged several of the flower die cuts from the Paper Pieces pack. These have beautiful gold detail and I just love the very organic design of them! They were fun to cluster and I added a couple more gold pieces from the pack such as the words and hearts for even more embellishment.
I used two strips from the Borders patterned paper below my large photo. The yellow also has some beautiful gold detail!
For my title, I had to use one of the Acrylic Words but I wanted it GOLD of course! I remembered a technique that team member Leanne Allinson shared here where she used embossing powder to transform the words! So I grabbed some gold embossing powder and it worked! The perfect gold scripted title!
I used an enlarged photo of my daughter on stage at her dance concert last year. The photo is 6.5 x 11.5" and although my daughter is clear, in the centre of the stage, I wanted a way to draw the eye to her position on the photo.
I added a couple of tag stickers from the Fundamentals sheet along with a gold arrow. The arrow isn't pointing directly at her, but in her direction so the cluster certainly does draw your eye to that area of the photo so you can see her beaming face! (I've intentionally blurred out the other faces for public sharing).
If there was ever an occasion to add gold foil detail, it's a young girls' dance recital right? The inspiration image translated to a layout using the stunning Make Your Mark collection perfectly and my intention was to show you how I take a seemingly unrelated image and turn it into a layout!
Now go and find inspiration!
