I'm not sure why but I'm going through a bit of a phase of mounting my layouts to cardstock, anybody else doing this regularly too? I began this layout knowing that I wanted a girly photo so I could use the flowers and hearts, so I first chose my photo and then chose a HEAP of layers from my scraps as my photo mount. Once i had stuck them all down i got some trusty old white KaiserCraft cardstock, trimmed off the edges and mounted it on pink KaiserCraft cardtstock. I then followed through with some ink splatters using the Orange and Pink KaiserCraft mists. I stuck my photo and the crazy amount of layers and started to pick my embellishments.
I started to think that I was wanting to have a horizontal line of focus for this layout, so I added my title 'Just be Brave' which is a Pink Fresh Studio Puffy sticker. To me, it looked as if the title was floating so I stuck a strip of the very fun kit washi underneath to help ground it. I was starting to think that this could be a good place for an embellishment cluster, so I looked at the remaining kit supplies and chose some enamel shapes and the colourful heart to stick next to the title.
Because I was running a horizontal line of focus with this layout, i made my second embellishment cluster on the left hand side at the bottom on the photo, I used two flowers from the kit- the tiny little orange ribbon rose and the large black material rose, I also used the last colourful heart (which I LOVE!), the yellow paper clip heart, and enamel shape and a puffy heart sticker which the kit did not include. This is where my layout goes sour, it would have been fine if I had stopped but no, my brain said more. I chose to stick the word 'beautiful' with the kits dazzling letter stickers across the top of the photo, it sounded like a good idea at the time! The black is far too heavy to have up so high on the layout and it competes with the layouts title, but like I said earlier, we learn from our mistakes.
