Magic Layout (Embellishment Filled in Star)

Here is a layout I made with Bloom Street featuring an embellishment filled star!

I began by lightly tracing with a pencil my Star cut file at a slight angle onto the rainbow striped B-side of Paper 20. Then I heavily distressed all the edges of the background by bending, tearing, and folding them. I backed the distressed edges with the patterned barcode strips from Paper 20, Paper 14, Paper 12, and Paper 17. Then I covered the traced star with strips of Washi Tape.

Hey look! I finally used the Acrylic Stamps! I used scrapbook.com inks in the following colors which match Bloom Street perfectly to stamp the images inside the star: Lantern Light, Succulent, Ballgown Blue, Pink Lemonade, Candy Shop Pink, Caribbean, Butter Cream, and Parisian Purple.

I started filling in the empty spaces between the stamping with embellishments such as Puffy Word Stickers and floral & leaf sequins (adhered with glue dots) from the Mixed Embellishments. I filled in the tiniest spaces with adhesive jewels also from the Mixed Embellishments and Enamel Dots. I placed a 3x4” photo of Fox & Jane on the left side of the layout and stuck it in place with foam adhesive for dimension. I balanced the photo on the left with journaling on the right, written with a dark blue pen. All done! I hope you're inspired to pick up my Bloom Street collection and create something similar!
