I created my layout using the new Heidi Swapp Art Walk line - I used the 6x8 paper pad and a few stickers from the cardstock sticker sheet.
I wanted to do a modern take on a grid design, but with a shape other than squares. I chose chevrons and used my Cricut to cut out 9 chevrons from different patterned papers from the 6x8 pad. I love the smaller patterns offered in the 6 inch paper pads, as they lend well to small designs. They're great for pocket pages too!
I distressed the edges on each chevron and sewed them down. I used a few of the chevron scraps to die cut some palm fronds with my Big Shot.
I used white acrylic paint, watered down, to create the white splatters.
I first tried to use some Thickers as a title, but decided I wanted to keep it bright and white. So I used some of the 6x8 Heidi Swapp paper to cut the word "Palmettos" from my Cricut. I used a free font, isolated the letters, and welded them together.
The rest of the title is cut from the Concord & 9th Double Cut Alpha Dies - always a favorite of mine!
This is literally one of my favorite photos I've ever taken in my life. So it was actually a lot of pressure to scrap it well! I am happy with the outcome, however.
To accompany my tropical layout, these die cut ephemera pieces from Kaisercraft's Paradise Found were absolutely perfect!
I love to mix and match among collections, and this Kaisercraft color scheme works perfectly with Heidi's Art Walk.
I finished the page with clear dew drop enamel bits and fluffed the chevron edges!
I hope you've been inspired to grab a 6x6 or 6x8 paper pad and create! Make sure to hop along to Sara's blog next, and leave comments on all blogs to enter to win the prizes.
