Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Stars & Stripes Week Day 6

Hi Bella friends! It has been an amazing week of stars & stripes hasn't it?! For my project, I immediately reached for the Bella Besties patterned papers when I decided that I wanted to create a rainbow striped background to document a day at the pool. Come take a look!

I first created my background by adhering 1 1/2" strips of the Bella Besties Plaids & Dotty Patterned Papers. I used Gulf, McIntosh, Orange, the purple bonus paper from the collection kit, and Pickle Juice. I then cut out a star using the Freehand Graph & Dot Patterned Paper in Punch. I used elements from the Home Sweet Home and Splash Zone collections to embellish the star.

I then cut out a star using the Blueberry Freehand Graph & Dot Patterned Paper. I embellished it with die cuts from the Splash Zone collection and cute little Puffy Stickers in McIntosh. I love all of the color that can created using Bella collections!

For the last star, I used the Freehand Graph & Dot Patterned Paper in Bell Pepper. I embellished it with a chipboard cloud and an adorable die cut camera piece. A green corrugated Heart Hug sticker adds some texture. And who else has some of these adorable Bella Blvd felt paper clips left in their stash?

Did you notice the adorable cut out waves at the bottom of the page? I used the Bella Blvd Waves cut file and the Freehand Graph & Dot Patterned Papers in Gulf and Blueberry to create them. I think they are so cool and I love the 'motion' they create on the page. I had a blast mixing and matching the Bella Besties Patterned Papers with the Home Sweet Home and Splash Zone collections!
