The Magic of Christmas Layout

I created a layout for the Silhouette blog featuring my Cut and Bend Doily Background cut file and the Merry Days collection from Crate Paper!

I started by cutting the design from a textured light blue cardstock and then bent up the pieces to create a super dimensional background. I backed the cut page with a dark patterned paper and then splashed all kinds of Prima - Pastel Dreams watercolors and watered down white acrylic paint on top.

 All along the right and bottom edges I piled on the Merry Days embellishments plus a photo, journaling, and my title.

Some of the petals got smooshed in the process so I re-bent them. This layout looks great hanging on the wall because it's so thick with dimension. Once it goes into an album it'll likely get smooshed again and I am A-OK with that! No stress or worries! It was just fun to make :)
