Scraplift Sunday Right Now

 

Good morning, friends! Wendy here with you today to share with you this weeks new Scraplift Sunday inspiration. This week we are lifting a fun layout from Cassie Jr. You can see it by clicking here. What I love the most about Cassie's layout is the mixed media background and the color gradient she created. I also really like the central focus in the layout, but when it came down to it, I put my focus on the bottom right corner. 

Cassie used a triangle cut file to create a stencil. I took the same concept and used the Scattered Hearts cut file. Both are in the Paper Issues shop and are free cut files. I used distress inks in Fossilized Amber, Pine Needles, Prize Ribbon and Stormy Sky. I stitched a border in similar colors (but don't look too closely as all the colors don't match up!). I layered a black heart on top and stamped white hearts to give it more detailed instead of just being plain. I layered papers behind a square photo like Cassie did, added a cluster at the top left of my photo, and included a Happy title, too. My embellishments are gathered from my stash and matched based on their color. You'll see things from Elle's Studio, including the chipboard title, PinkFresh Studio, and Pretty Little Studio. This layout was super fast once I finished the stitching. The stitching took an insane amount of time. But that's okay because I love hand stitching and gives my layouts so much added detail. Take a look at my up close photos.
