Art Studio: Bits of Happy Layout

May 29, 2016 by ArtfulLeighCreative 9 Comments

Hello friends! Leigh here, to share an Art Studio layout for June. The exclusive cut files and kit contents this month are amazing!

 

 

Bits Layout, with Whipped Spackle by Faber Castell texture paste from the Clique Kits Store.

 

 

 

The first steps of this layout involve adding texture to your page, using one of the exclusive cut files for June as a stencil to place your texture paste. Punch varying sizes of circles and patterns from your kit. I chose to use the Elle’s Studio coordinating stamp from the Clique Kits Store to add a few dark and light pink circle elements. Simply lay out your circles without adhesive first to achieve a pleasing arrangement, then add the stamped images behind some of the punched circles. This adds lots of texture and interest to your page.

 

 

 

 

You can add stitching and bend up the edges of your punched circles for more dimension.

 

 

 

 

Next, place the exclusive succulent cut file, and adhere just the center, so the edges lift up off the page. You can size the cut file to fit the page you prefer, here it is reduced in size to span the width of an 8.5×11 layout. You can cut it twice to fit across the layout, and don’t worry, you won’t see the gap once the next layers are added.

 

 

 

 

Now, you can trim down your favorite papers from the kit to layer behind your photo with the tag. Have fun coordinating them to your photo, and letting different layers peek out randomly. Print your journaling and add the Pinkfresh Studio Glitter Word Stickers for the title.

 

 

 

 

Next, you can add the asterisk shapes from the Glitter Word Sticker pack, and enamel dots and ink splatters as your final embellishments. Layer it up and have fun!
