Everyday Magic – Layout by Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hello lovelies

“Everyday Magic” is a layout created using Spectrum Sherbet and using just the Strawberry Lemonade colours of the collection.

I first started with the paper called Sprinkled from the Spectrum Sherbet 12×12 Foundations pack. I rubbed the entire sheet of of the 12×12 Strawberry Lemonade rub-on transfer onto the sprinkled side of the paper to create my background. I then cut this paper down – making sure I cut away without cutting the rub-on stitching. The edges of the paper were distressed before I added this to a matching card stock.

The photo was adhered on top of a frame from the Spectrum Sherbet Strawberry Lemonade frame set, and I also added “lace” around the edges – the lace is off the Spectrum Sherbet Essential laser cut sheet. I only adhered the edges at the frame end of the lace and then ran my finger under the lace to bend it up a little for dimension. This was then adhered to the page with foam tape, and then I added the journal-like paper edges also from the same laser cut sheet under this on the left.

From here I started my cluster first with middle sized flowers from the Bashful Royal Posies flower pack and the yellow flowers from the Marigold Rustic Blooms flower pack, and then built up my cluster of Laser cut elements and Strawberry Lemonade ephemera bits.

The leaves added are all off the Strawberry Lemonade laser cut elements. I have pulled the leaves apart that these are all single leaves so that I was able to tuck these in around my cluster. All the elements were added using foam tape to add dimension.

Once I was done, I added hearts and words from the Spectrum Sherbet chipboard pieces and Spectrum Sherbet wishing bubbles.
