Hi friends! Inessa Persekian here and let's grab a piece of 12x12 white textured cardstock and create something fun together using the Legendary collection!
From there, I trimmed a variety of strips of Legendary papers. I mixed up the sizes to keep things interesting - some strips are 2” wide, one is 1.5”, and the rest follow the natural stripe pattern in the paper. Next, I distressed and arranged the strips slightly on a diagonal across the page to create movement and visual interest. I adhered them down and trimmed off the excess from the edges, eyeballing how much space I wanted to leave visible. To add a bit more texture and detail, I added machine stitching along the blue strips. For my photo, I used a 4x6” picture of my hubby and our cute little pup Paisley. I layered it with two patterned papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad to give it some dimension. Behind the photo, I tucked in one last strip that I tore in half for a more organic look. Now for the fun part - embellishing! I pulled pieces from the Journaling Die Cuts, the Ephemera Die Cuts, Puffy Stickers, Cardstock Stickers, and Chipboard Stickers to build out clusters around my photo. I love mixing textures to really bring the layout to life. To finish everything off, I added a bit of thread, some white twine to the tags, and Enamel Dots from the collection for that perfect final touch. I hope this layout gives you some fun ideas to try with your supplies. Don’t be afraid to play with different sizes and angles - it’s such an easy way to create a dynamic background!
