Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today sharing a new layout for Bella Besties Week! Along with using lots of Bella Besties products both old and new, I also pulled in two newly released cut files: Crazy In Love and Spring Florals. We are still celebrating the month of love so I thought it would be fun to create a page about a place that holds a special place in my heart. Hawaii. Make sure to check out my process video at the end of this post! Here's my layout:
To start, I cut the Crazy In Love cut file out on textured white cardstock. While I was still in Silhouette Software, I went ahead and prepped and cut the backing pieces to the cut file. I used the Bella Besties Hearts and Ombre patterned papers in the colors: Punch, Plum, Cotton Candy, Gulf and Ice.
Next, I cut the Spring Florals cut file out on the Freehand Graph & Dot patterned papers in Plum, White and Cotton Candy. I also cut a few more floral pieces on the Plaids and Dotty papers in Punch and Gulf. I made sure to cut different sizes of each floral since I planned on layering the floral pieces on top of each other. For the floral centers, I used the heart stickers from the Trinkets Puffy Stickers in Plum, White, Punch, Peep & Cotton Candy.
I set the florals aside and decided to create a shaker element in the heart portion of the Crazy In Love cut file. I had leftover heart pieces from my last Bella layout and I added them into the shaker. So cute!
Next, I started on my mixed media background. I got out a few different Distress Oxide inks that matched with the colors I had chosen for this layout. I stamped each ink pad directly onto my thick cardstock, sprayed a bit of water on and blended and painted the colors around. I wanted my background to be soft and pretty.
I used the cut file as the title for my layout and added onto it using the Florence Alphas in White and the Aria Alphas in Ice. We were stationed in Hawaii for almost 3 years and you can see how beautiful it is in my photo. I can still feel the warm sun on my face while typing this! We miss it so much!
Next, I adhered two Bella Pop stickers from the Squeeze the Day collection. I also sprinkled in some heart hugs, matte enamel dots and epoxy heart stickers.
I had so much fun creating this layout. I enjoyed going through my Bella stash and pulling out a lot of heart elements. I love the shaker and all of the dimension on this page. I hope you like it too!
