Dream Play Create Layout

My newest collection with Pink Paislee, Whimsical, is not a holiday-themed line, but by picking out bits and pieces and pairing them with snowflakes, glitter, and sequins, I was able to create a wintery page for the 12 Days of Giveaways happening over at Scrapbook & Cards Today!

I started with a light green ombre patterned paper background (the B-side of Paper 12) and then die cut my Snowflake Border cut file from smooth white cardstock using a Silhouette Cameo 3. Then I applied iridescent liquid glitter glue to the snowflake border and set it aside to dry.

On the left and top edges where the snowflake border was going, I added a layer of white gesso and let it dry then splashed white acrylic paint on top and let it dry. I splashed lots of watercolors in colors to match Whimsical on top, letting it dry between each layer. Tip: I used a hair dryer to speed up the drying process.

Once the background was completely dry, I added the snowflake border using dimensional adhesive. I tucked a photo of Fox into the left side and placed a round mint sticker from the Stickers torn in half under the top and bottom edges. Then I scattered colorful Stickers, Enamel Shapes, Ephemera Die Cuts, and Chipboard Stickers on and around the snowflake border. The title was made with gold word Chipboard Stickers on the top left corner.

Next I added clear sequins over the snowflake border as well as the empty space of the layout for texture and shine. On the bottom right corner, I trimmed a gold scalloped border Sticker in half, used the pieces to edge the corner, then machine stitched over it. To finish I wrote journaling with a black pen in the same corner. I hope you're inspired to use Whimsical for your winter-themed pages!
