Hi
everyone, today I’m sharing a floral wreath layout that was created using the
April Creative kit Spring Fling by Echo Park Paper
Once I saw the B side of the 3x4 journaling
cards I knew I just had to fussy cut all the flowers and create a DIY wreath.
Now
fussy cutting is definitely not my favourite thing to do but I just turned on
Netflix and binge watched one of my shows and before I knew it I had a pile of
flowers cut out.
Using
my Tombow markers and a black Faber Castell pitt pen in size M I coloured and
doodled out 6 flowers in a circular pattern on white cardstock to act as a
guideline for my wreath.
I
liked the doodled flowers so much I decided to create more and fussy cut them
to make my own ephemera.
Included
in the kit are these beautiful enamel and resin floral embellishments. To add
dimension I layered them adhearing them with hot glue and using a sequin for
the center.
The
flowers are placed randomly around in a circle, and glued down.
To
create the base page white cardstock is cut to 11” x 11” and matted with blue
cardstock from my stash cut to 11 ½” x 11 ½” Both are then placed on the 12x12
spring bloom patterned paper framing my layout.
To
prevent the layout from becoming too bulky
a 10” square is cut from the center of the patterned paper. This also
allows me to use the leftover patterned paper on another layout.
The picture is matted in the same blue
cardstock and layered with frames and a tag from the ephemera package. I
finished the tag of with a tiny bow made from ribbon that also came with the
kit.
For
dimension foam squares are used to attach the self made ephemera around the
wreath and pink thread was added in behind each one for some texture. The
metal/resin floral clusters were adhered around the wreath using hot glue. For
the title I chose you are sweet from the ephemera pack and added a couple
stickers from the sticker sheet.
Here is my finished layout. I hope this
inspires you to create a DIY wreath layout of your own
