Brave, Magical, Darling Layout

I brought a few new-to-me collections with me to my parent's house to scrap with during this in-between time. For this layout I used the Hawthorne collection by Heidi Swapp.

I started by die cutting my Butterfly Heart cut file from a purple patterned paper. Then I ungrouped all of the butterflies and die cut them individually from all of the Hawthorne patterned papers.

Once the butterflies were cut, I backed the background with an ombre paper and then lightly adhered the butterflies on top. I machine stitched through the butterflies and then bent up the wings for dimension.

I printed two black & white photos of Jane splashed white acrylic paint where I planned to place them. Once dry, I added the pics and then embellished with a few pieces from the collection including die cuts, transparency pieces, kraft bits, and more. I finished up with a few enamel dots.

I wrote my journaling with a black pen on a die cut and tucked it into the top right side. All done!

I still have lots of this collection leftover so I'll save it for a mini album :)
