Guest Designing for Adornit

This week I have the pleasure of working with Georgana Hall from Adornit again.  She sent me three delicious collections to work with... but, I might have to choose the Misty Collection as my very favorite and I don't say this lightly because I am totally in love with their Bee Happy collection from the previous release. But truth be told, I adore scrapping with reds and this collections is loaded with exactly the right shade and patterns. Talk about polka dots...sigh. I had a lot of fun with this project. When I saw the sentiment on the cardstock sticker about Love blooms...I started to formulate this layout in my mind. I used my Cricut Country Life cartridge to cut the water pitcher and stems, but then I used the pattern paper below to cut out the flowers.

Georgana also sent these amazing clear stickers that I used to decorate the pitcher and to mirror the flowers I had fussy cut. I also inked a lot of the vase to grunge it up a bit. Then I found these older My Little Shoebox chipboard letters which were the perfect funky fit for the layout. Don't they just jump off the page???

I like to pop-dot many of the embellishments on my projects to make them stand out more and create depth in the layout. I used foam on the stickers to give them a little more dimension and lift them off the page. You can really see how it works on the red flowers. One technique to give you some wiggle room is to back them with cardstock, that way you can move them around without having to commit right away on a location, not to mention how it will spare your patterned paper from eminent rips and tears.
