Hello, lovely friends! Donna Espiritu here with my latest layout for the Paige Evans + Silhouette Design Team. I used the new Horizon collection and Flower cut file.
I thought of changing things up a bit by not using the cut file as is. After backing the cut file with Paper 02 I adhered it to the top left corner of the white cardstock background and trimmed the excess. Then I adhered the remaining parts to the bottom and right edges. I used foam tape to make the leaves appear lifted. I cut 1/2" strips of Paper 02 and added them to the edges. I did something for the first time: chain stitching! It's a bit sloppy but I will get the hang of it for sure because it's not as difficult as I thought it would be! Then I used one of the Washi Tapes as an accent.

To continue with the playful and happy vibe, I did a wavy title. Using a pencil, I lightly drew a wavy path for the Foam Mini Thickers from Whimsical and then adjusted the placement of each letter. I did some Acrylic Stamps as well. I chose inks which coordinated with the Horizon color palette and then I used a black pen to make some small dots. Using the same pen, I wrote when and where the photo was taken. And that's it!
