Hey friends, Inessa Persekian here and I just returned from a fabulous trip to Paris and couldn't wait to start documenting! Crafted Moments has the perfect vibe for Paris.
This layout started with a sheet of the Beauty Ahead Paper. To create a soft layered design, I tore a piece of white cardstock to approximately 7" tall and adhered it about 1½" up from the bottom of the page. I tucked a neutral trim along the torn edge and stitched across it with metallic thread. Not only does the stitching add wonderful texture, but it also helps secure the trim in place. I wanted the photos to feel like they were hanging from the top of the page, so I reached into my stash for a variety of neutral trims and ribbons. Using different textures and widths helped carry the trim from the bottom of the layout all the way to the top, creating a cohesive design. For my photos, I used frames from the Chipboard Stickers and tucked 2x2 and 2x3 photos behind them. After attaching the trims to the backs of the framed photos, I adhered them to the white cardstock to create the hanging effect. I also tied a few small bows with the same trims for a feminine touch. To finish the page, I tucked Floral Die Cuts, Ephemera Die Cuts, additional frame Chipboard Stickers, and other embellishments throughout the layout to create balance and fill in the design. The title was created using the Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers and I completed everything with a few strands of metallic thread at the top, Metallic Enamel Dots, and a light splatter of gold shimmer for the perfect finishing touch. I love how all of the layers, textures, and metallic details work together to create a layout that's both elegant and full of dimension. I hope this inspires you to mix trims, stitching, and layered embellishments on your next scrapbook page! Have a fabulous day and à bientôt!
