Good morning, I hope this post is finding you well and your finding some creative time along the way.
I am here today to share another layout using the amazing Uniquely Creative Something Blue Collection - IN STORE NOW
Something you like to do is deconstruct wood grain pieces of paper, cut on the lines remembering to keep it in order....
Use a distress tool and do the edges (still keeping them in order)... then set them aside.
Grab a piece of cardstock and this is where you will start to stick down the strips, in between the wood grain I used a small strips of True Blue paper or alternatively you could just stick straight onto it , but I love getting the most out of my paper because it can make another layout.
Now it becomes about the fussy cutting, have them cut in advanced and stuck in snap lock bags when you need them.
Pull out the sewing machine run stitches around the outer edge and do it multiple times so you get a big impacts this will allow you to rip and pull back your distressed edges more.
When trying to make something layered for boy pages the flourishes and leaves are great alternatives instead of flowers, the advantage is you still get a big impact with a masculine twist.
Also if you cut out one page you will have plenty of left overs for other layouts.
Finish off the layout with a splatter of black ink, work diagonally so it draws your eye over the page. It also adds to the distressed look.
I will be back on Friday to share another layout using this collection.
*** Note all these layouts are created with the one kit not extras need.
Till next time have a creative day
