Using Mixed Media on a Cut FileHey friends! I am in loooove with today's layout. I started off with a Paige Evans cut file, which has an open book bursting with flowers. I decided that instead of backing the cut file, I would color it! So I pulled out my watercolors and ended up with this: I used a combination of these Arteza watercolor tubes and two palettes from Prima: Vintage Pastels and Woodlands, which I couldn't find a link for (sorry!). I custom mixed my own colors to match this cut-apart sentiment paper from Garden Shoppe by Paige Evans. I knew I wanted to use a bunch of these little sentiments to embellish, and I think I ended up matching the colors pretty well! I also threw in a couple purple flowers because reasons. I used two baby pictures of my daughter Thea at the library and matted them with tissue paper and a yellow polka dot paper from Garden Shoppe. My title letters are from the Garden Shoppe sticker book, and I embellished with a few icons from the cardstock stickers. I know Garden Shoppe is technically a fall collection, but so far all the layouts I've made with it have been spring-themed! I think the pastel rainbow tones transfer so well from season to season. One of these layouts will be revealed in March, so stay tuned for that! It uses a cut file from Paige's new bundle of 36 stitching layouts, which you can check out here.
