Layout - Follow your dreams

Hello dear friends.. welcome again and here I'm sharing my 2nd project I submitted for Heartfelt Creations DT Call'22. I created this layout inspiring the message - '' Follow your heart" and I used a picture which coordinated with the message. I created a layout this time as it would differ with the card I created earlier and the flowers too differ with material,

 this time using paper flowers.

Sharing the instructions to create this layout below along with the materials used.

Hope you all love it.. 😊

The ready layout is 12x12 size pattern paper. Take 1" satin ribbon with coordinating blue color and adhere it half way horizontally across the pattern paper. Die cut 4 pieces with cream card stock using the largest of the Decorative Pocket Accents die, sponge the edges with periwinkle ink and adhere these along either side of the satin ribbon. Die cut 8 pieces with cream card stock using the small Swirly Accents Spray die, stack 2 each together and adhere them on each of the corners and trim off the excess.

Die cut the photo using a circle die, add another scallop circle frame die cut on cream card stock, sponge the edges with periwinkle ink and adhere it on the photo. Die cut 2 consecutive circles slightly larger in size than the photo, 

heat emboss one with Gold Tinsel embossing powder on the edges. 

Die cut 3 pieces of the smallest accent die from Intricate Swirl frames die on cream card stock, sponge the edges with Periwinkle ink, cut them in half and adhere each piece along the circumference of the largest circle die cut, to create a doily. Stack all these pieces together along with the photo frame on top using dimensional tapes and adhere it to the layout as shown in picture.

Stamp few of the medium and small size Festive Poinsettia flowers on Floral paper using Fern Green ink, cut them using coordinating dies and sponge the edges with Periwinkle and Cobalt ink. Wet the petals and shape them using flower shaping tools and leave them for drying. Stamp few of the small Oakberry lane flowers on floral paper using fern green ink. Color them using sunflower ink, 

cut them using coordinating dies and shape them to create filler flowers. 

Stamp several of the leaf from Wild Rose collection with fern green ink on floral paper, cut them using the coordinating dies, sponge the edges using  leaf green and cobalt ink and shape them. Stamp and die cut few of the Wild Aster spray on floral paper with fern green ink and color them using cobalt and fern green. Again, stamp some of the Holly Berry spray with Versamark on floral paper, heat emboss with Gold Tinsel embossing powder and die cut them using the coordinating die.

 Add pollens to the flower centers and Crystal Clear glitter for all the flowers, leaves and the aster spray. 

Arrange all these elements around one side of the photo frame and adhere them in 

place using hot glue, as shown in the picture. Die cut 2 pieces on cream cardstock with the Ornamental tag die, sponge the edges with periwinkle ink and add the sentiment on the lower center of the layout. 

Finish off the project by adding few clear water droplets and flat back pearls.
