Hello Beautiful friends.
Today I bring to you a layout created with the new Vintage Artistry Blush 12×12 Collection Pack. I also incorporated a few elements from the Vintage Artistry Collectors Edition Volume 1. I adore how you can mix and match so many of the collections. For my background, I used the 12×12 Serene Paper, and for the middle, I used the same paper but from the 6×6 Collection Pack. I mounted the 12×12 paper onto a piece of corrugated cardboard and distressed the edges, then painted the exposed cardboard with white gesso. I popped up the middle paper with some corrugated cardboard. Then I backed the photo with cardboard, and mounted it onto the layout. I added a touch of stenciling with modeling paste and sprinkled it with embossing powder and heat embossed it when the paste dried. This was the base of my layout.

I used the Rub Ons to enhance the beauty in this paper. The lacey doily rub ons in the packs are beautiful!! I even added a few of the black roughly sewn rub ons on the papers and on the photo. I love how it really looks like you have sewn on your projects!! I fussy cut some of the elements from the Blush 6×6 paper pack. They are small but add a big punch. Some of the butterflies I used are from the Limited Edition kit that is out right now. It is a great value considering it has a few collections as well as new designs in the Vintage Artistry line.

I scattered some bubbles and baubles around the page. The white and black butterflies in the Blush laser cuts can be colored if you wish. I can imagine them colored and glittered. I think I will do that next time. I left them as is for this layout. They are still so pretty!

I fussy cut the tags from the 6×6 Blush Collection. I punched tiny holes on the tops and strung through the single ply jute. I then added the sentiments to the front. I layered some of the fussy cut and laser cuts under the photo. I love the lacey doilies incorporated into the stacked look. The little dragonfly is from the Serendipitous 12×12 Collection Pack. I just couldn’t resist.
