Fresh Easter Eggs Layout

Hi friends! I have a new layout & process video to share with you today using my Bloom Street collection and Easter Egg cut file!

 Watch this process video first if you are a more visual person to see how it came together from start-to-finish:

I started by applying white gesso onto white cardstock to prep it for watercolors. Then I die cut my Easter Egg cut file from it and carefully peeled it off the mat. I watercolored over the flowers and leaves using my favorite sets: Pastel Dreams and Tropicals. I sped up the drying time with a hair dryer so I could continue on :)

For the background I chose the blue-green B-side of Paper 10 which when turned upside down resembles the sky and grass - perfect! I added little dabs of liquid glue onto the backside of the cut file and pressed it onto the page. I wanted the edges of the cut file to lift and bend off the background so that's why I didn't adhere it down 100%.

 I found the photo I wanted to use from last Easter and added it to the bottom right side. To balance the photo, I created the title on the top left corner using a mix of Puffy Vinyl Stickers (Fresh), the mini alphas from the 4-Page Sticker Book (Easter), and Floral Foam Thickers (Eggs).  I framed the title with colorful leaves from the Puffy Vinyl Stickers and the Floral Die Cuts.

I wanted to "ground" the egg so I trimmed two wavy strips from another piece of Paper 10 as well as a piece of white cardstock and fringed them with scissors. I adhered them to the bottom edge of the page. 

Helpful tip: There was a distracting hot pink polka dot bag in the photo, so I covered the majority of it up with a purple Layered Butterfly Sticker. Below the photo I added a cluster of tiny creatures stickers from the 4-Page Sticker Book.

 I wrote my journaling with a white paint pen around the curve of the egg and then added a trio of Floral Die Cuts on the bottom left corner. To finish, I balanced the white pen on the top right by drawing stems and leaves below the flowers on the bottom left.

 I hope you are inspired to scrap your Easter memories with my Bloom Street collection and Easter Egg cut file!
