BE-YOU-TIFUL

Hello and welcome to the Simple Stories Blog today!

Chantalle with you and I’d love to share a page I’ve created using the oh-so-pretty ‘Beautiful’ collection and a pic of my little one taken a couple of years ago.

The base of this layout uses a 12x12 floral stencil cut using my Silhouette Cameo. I’ve placed this over a sheet of ‘Choose Happy’ which has a soft and flowy, mint marble print. I loved this paper as it wouldn’t distract too much and the colour would blend with anything I placed over the top.

Behind the floral lace, I’ve popped some circles which I cut from the ‘Beautiful’ 6x8 paper pad. This gave me the opportunity to incorporate many different colours and prints from the collection into the layout.

Once I was happy with the background, I went about building up my layers and embellishments, which included a card cut from a sheet of ‘Beautiful’ 4x6 Vertical Elements, which I used for my title. Over the top of this, I have placed a foil finish sticker from a pack of ‘Beautiful’ Clear Stickers.

There are lots of little finishing touches on this page, like some tiny floral punches, stickers, some hand drawn pen marks and enamel dots.

This collection is so versatile - pull out the darker shades and you’ve got the makings of masculine pages or work with the creamy pinks and mints and add soft tones to feminine projects.

Thanks for joining me!
