Thank you Kindly with Claire!

Hi everyone,

Today I’m sharing a cute layout that documents my dogs absolute obsession with socks!! For this 12x12 layout, I’m using the October Main Kit which features the Garden Shoppe collection from Paige Evans.

 




I brushed some dry Distress Oxide onto my background in Bundled Sage and Old Paper to create some colour for my design to sit on, and added splatters with the same inks and some gold spray.

I tore a piece of patterned paper from Paper #23 to act as a base, ruffling the edges for texture, and added my photo on top.

On either side, I wanted to create some clusters, and created dimension by creating some concertina leaves. They were very easy to create. I cut squares of patterned paper from Paper #8, using both the a and b side for contrast. I cut each square diagonally to create 2 triangles. I scored each triangle (on the diagonal) every quarter of an inch. Once scored, I folded the leaves in half so that the 2 points meet and stuck them together.

 


I fussy cut some flowers from Paper #2 to build the clusters, placing them underneath, on top and  around the leaves.

I also cut out some of the Phrases that look like boards on Paper #12 to act as subtitles.

 


For my title, I used one of the gorgeous Foam Stickers that are included in the kit. This one, saying “Thank You Kindly” was perfect – I had dropped a sock when bringing in the washing – and of course – Skye was delighted to help! 😊

 


As a finishing touch, I wrote my journaling underneath and added just a few Nuvo Drops in gold.

I hope this page inspires you to create with the kits, and you enjoy creating with them as much as I have.


Until next month, take care.

Claire
