New Blue Bicycle Layout

I am so excited to share a new layout with you today featuring super cute metal dies by Coco & Reno paired with my Horizon collection with Pink Paislee which can be found online and in JoAnn stores!

I started by die cutting my Vintage Bicycle cut file from white cardstock using a Silhouette Cameo 3. I chose Paper 06 with the blue painterly stripes as my background. I backed parts of the cut file (such as the flowers, baskets, seat, handle, etc.) with papers from Horizon. Time to play with the Coco & Reno metal dies! I was sent these ones to try out:

I used the April Lace dies to create two round clusters and did machine stitching through them for texture and interest. I placed the larger piece on the larger bicycle wheel and the smaller piece on the smaller wheel.

 Next I created a few layered flowers and leaves using the Cutting-die Monthly Subscription set. I tucked the flowers behind the flowers in the baskets and added the leaves underneath those with liquid glue because they're so delicate and I wanted them to lift off the page. I tucked in a few Floral Die Cuts and Ephemera Die Cuts as well.

 For the title I used the blue Mini Foam Thickers from Pick-Me-Up and wrote out "NEW BLUE BICYCLE" around the curve of the large wheel. I took a screenshot of a video of me trying out the bicycle I bought and built myself (girl power! :) and printed that out to add to the layout.

 For journaling I typed it in my favorite font called Remington Noiseless at size 8, printed it out, trimmed it into strips, then glued them over the right edge of the photo in non-important space. To finish I cut two lacy borders using Coco & Reno metal dies from white cardstock and tucked them under the photo.

I hope you are inspired to check out the beautiful dies by Coco & Reno along with my Horizon scrapbooking collection and Silhouette cut files!
