Hello all! It's Ashley back with another layout for the Bella Blvd Creative Team. This week has been all about the Time to Travel collection with a focus on acrylics. For my layout, I chose to document a photo of my little girls in their wagon!
One of my favorite go-to designs is this geometric heart which is made of triangles. It is super easy to do as you just take 2-inch squares, trim them in half at a diagonal and lay them out in the shape of this heart. I did that with random patterned papers from the collection and used foam adhesive to adhere them to the background paper which is called Baggage Claim.
For some added texture, I stitched a running stitch with black embroidery floss all the way around my heart, leaving approximately a 1/4-inch gap. To do this, I took a pencil and a ruler, carefully made lines with that 1/4-inch gap and poked holes on top of the pencil lines. I also added the title using the Florence Alphabet Stickers in white to create the word 'let's' and used the 'Explore' acrylic piece from the Explore + Play Acrylic Words set.
Lastly, I embellished my layout by adding tone-on-tone hearts to the little triangle pieces as well as along the stitching lines. Those hearts are from the Trinkets Puffy Stickers and I used the colors McIntosh, Orange, Bell Pepper, Pickle Juice + Guacamole, Ice + Gulf, Blueberry and Black. I grabbed some word stickers and a scalloped border from the DooHickey Stickers to add onto the heart. I finished off the layout by adding in my journaling strips next to my photo and above my title. To add some more black to the layout, I grabbed a piece of the Bella Besties Hearts and Ombre paper in black and tore some off to add to the top and bottom of my layout.
Thank you for stopping by the blog today. Hope you have a wonderful day!
