Claire Hawkins: April Main Kit
Beautiful Smile
I love a ledger style paper and couldn’t resist this lovely green lined paper from the kit.
I took a notebook edge punch to create the look of the page being torn from a pad. I also ripped the page on the right-hand side to add a bit more texture and dimension.
I cut out the circles from the Happy Heart circular paper and positioned these in a cascading pattern down the left-hand side of the page. I hand stitched a few, but stitching such small circles proved quite trickly, so I only added machine stitching to three or four for that little bit of extra interest.
Once they were in position, I used some of the chipboard frames to create shaker pockets, filled with iridescent sequins from my stash.
I created a circular photograph to echo the circular design and mounted both the photo and the shakers on foam pads.
Next, I fussy cut some butterflies from the Beautiful Moments paper and scattered these down the design.
I took one of the heart shaped stamps from the stamp set and stamped in soft pink ink to match the colour of the collection. Alongside this, I added some Nuvo Drops in several soft colours to match the circles and some small gold glittered circles, hole punched from a piece of scrap gold glitter card from my scraps stash.
The title was made using the beautiful phrases from the Title Ephemera Pack. I also added some smaller phrases to tie in the colours.
As a finishing touch, I folded back a small edge on the top and bottom of the page, and because it was a photo from my birthday earlier this year, I also added a strip of plain blue cardstock and some fun pompom trim to give it that extra celebratory feel.
I hope you are thoroughly enjoying this fabulous kit, and that my layout has inspired you to document those special moments.
See you next month!
