Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today and this week, the Bella Blvd CT is focusing on the Cut Outs from the Just Because collection. We are also creating projects that feature our female loved ones. I have a lot of them in my life so while it was hard to narrow down, I thought it would be great to document a photo of me and two of my sisters. Here's my layout:
To start, I chose the 'You Are Loved' Cut Out that coordinates with this collection and backed the first few words using a few of the 12x12 Patterned Papers. For a bit of something extra, I took a piece of white cardstock from my stash and sprayed it using various sprays from Shimmerz Paints. Once it finished drying, I traced the 'Loved' portion of the Cut Out and then cut it out. I made sure to cut beyond the traced lines that way it would back the Cut Out fully.
Once I had the 'loved' portion fully adhered, I added some white dots using some white gesso and the end of an embossing stylus tool.
I popped the entire Cut Out up on foam tape and then adhered it to the Cute Messengers 12x12 Patterned Paper. I also added a few strips of white cardstock to the top and bottom.
Next, I matted and adhered my photo and then started to embellish using the Ephemera Icons and Ephemera Words. Those bows and the birdhouse are so cute!
To finish off this page, I added some tangled thread and then splattered a bit of white paint around the entire layout.
Here's one last look at this sweet page that's dedicated to some very special women in my life:
Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! Have you tried backing a Cut Out with mixed media? It's a lot of fun and really adds something extra special to your page. See you next time friends!
