Backing a Cut File + Mixed MediaHappy (belated) Valentine's Day! I was feeling the love this holiday, so I wanted to make a love-themed layout. I browsed through my cut files and decided on this large title by Paige Evans. I backed it with a rainbow of patterned and solid papers, using pastel colors to keep the layout soft and airy. Here's how it turned out! To make the white border of the cut file stand out, I did some tone-on-tone mixed media behind the cut file on plain white cardstock. To get these light pastel colors, I used two Prima watercolor palettes: Vintage Pastels and Woodlands. I used lots of water to make sure the colors stayed light. This is a "through the years" type layout, so I have three pictures spanning about 7 years. I printed all of them in black and white so that the pictures feel cohesive despite being in different times and places. Finally, I used some very old Jen Hadfield stickers to embellish. I didn't plan this ahead of time, but the colors of the Home + Made stickers match my layout perfectly! Those little animals are just sooo adorable. I finished up with some gold splatters to repeat the gold foil elements in the stickers. To see the whole process of how this page came together, check out the video below! Last but not least, here's some close ups of the finished page. Thanks for stopping by, and stay scrappy!
