Hello! I’m back with another Scraptastic Design Team layout featuring the May 2016 Cake by the Ocean Kit!

May 2016 Cake by the Ocean Kit by Scraptastic Club

For this week’s layout, I teamed up with Alex, a fellow design team member, and we used this as our inspiration piece:

And here’s my take with a different twist!

Last week I was involved in a very active fairy tale in which  my daughter and I pretended to be princess mermaid sisters. According to my little moppet, we are getting ready to attend a party. And since we were attending this party during the winter time, it was customary for us to wear our princess tiaras on the outside of our winter hats.

It’s a thing. 🙂

Using the exclusive Scraptastic stencil and my cutting knife, I cut the stenciled image to create a raised background. I backed the raised circles with pink patterned paper – the color is subtle and very much visible when looking closely at the layout. I created layers around the photos using an exclusive Scraptastic tag and die cuts from the Paige Evans Fancy Free Collection (Pink Paislee). I finished the layout with a cute title using the die cut word “happy” from the same collection in addition to velum  letter stickers by Pink Fresh Studio.

• Patterned Paper – “Flower Strings” from the Felicity Collection by Pink Fresh Studio
• Exclusive Stencil – Scraptastic
