We're Lucky

This is a layout about how much we cherish and feel lucky to have Chloe in our lives. The inspirations for this page comes from the meaning of her name which is "blooming". The meaning of the name is just right at this moment which is Spring where there are flowers started to bloom and the greenery all around us.

I tried to give this layout a light and springy look. Everything is so fresh and just started to grow. With this I've kept some open spaces in the background and only use light colours.

Here are the steps to this layout.

1) I've used the "Stamping with Kitchen Liner" technique to give some texture look to part of the background.

2) Then I've used some monochromatic pattern papers to layer it.

3) On one of the vertical strip, I've thread a ribbon on it and put in some silver beads in between to give it a little dimensions and bling.

4) To add some softness to the page, I've used some ribbons and lace to layer and to thread it on the huge chipboard piece on the lower left of the page.

5) I've also added some flowers which I've used the "Freshen up your flowers" technique to create some water droplets on it.

6) I've also created a transparency flower which I've painted the edges using some black acrylic paints and doodled on it using a white paint marker.

7) I've also used some crackle accents to make the title looked glossy. (Tip: if you apply the crackle accents on a small amount and on small areas, it won't show the crackle effect. It only makes it glossy)

8) Lastly, I've added some rub-ons, bling to the flowers and a hidden tag to it.

This layout had actually make me happy and feel so SPRINGY!! So why don't you get all your flowers out and try to create a springy layout!
