Happy Day Layout Guest Designer for Lady Pattern Paper

by Julie Schinkel on Saturday, November 20, 2021

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a layout created for Lady Pattern Paper using the beautiful Bohemian Muse collection.

"Say hello to Bohemian Muse… This dreamy 12×12 scrapbooking paper collection is ideal for the wonder seekers, the wild spirits and live-simply dreamers! Feathers, arrows, cactus and artistic tribal patterns in a soft watercolour palette of apricot, steel blue, slate grey and hints of dusty violet. Matching need-to-have chipboard elements and beautiful masks the perfect finishing touches for your next paper crafts project." Source - Lady Pattern Paper website

Here is the layout that I created plus a brief tutorial and close up photos so you can see how I've created the page.

Tutorial

To create the base cut a two and a half inch strip from the left and right sides of the Feathers 12x12 paper.
Tear a strip from each side of the Dreamer 12x12 paper. Adhere to the two strips to form the layout base.
Distress the edges of the photo with a sanding block. The photo size used is 6"x4" portrait.
Mat the photo onto some coloured cardstock of choice leaving a 1/8 inch border around the photo. I've used a denim blue colour to match my dress in the photo.
Adhere the photo and mat onto a piece of Blooms 12x12 paper, again leaving a 1/8 inch border.
Colour one of the leftover frames from the chipboard titles with Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Ink (or similar). Adhere to the layout underneath the photo mat before adhering the photo mat as shown.
Adhere the photo cluster to the middle of the layout. Only glue or tape down the middle, not around the whole piece as you need to leave room to add elements underneath.
Cut a small banner from some of the Dreamer 12x12 paper, cut in half and adhere underneath the photo mat above and below as shown.
Cut a strip of the coloured cardstock, punch one side with a border punch or border die. Add this under the right side of the photo cluster.
Fussy cut the top arrow from the Arrow 12x12 paper. Add the feathers as shown.
Fussy cut the camera, the succulent/horns and "Happy Day" from the Cactus 12x12 paper.
Colour one of the borders from the Tribal Borders chipboard set with Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide Ink (or similar). Coat with a shimmer pen or similar embossing powder, cut in half and set aside.
Adhere all of the remaining elements as shown on the final layout.
To finish, randomly add some pearls or gems in coordinating colours.
