The Bloom De Fleur is a gorgeous paper range that you can fussy cut the bright flowers and team with a variety of background pages from the collection. To add interest, I used cogs that are normally on grungy or masculine pages however thought that they were perfect for pretty pages as well.
I selected two different pattern papers - stripes and dots - to add contrast for the background. Fussy cut a range of flowers. Paint the cogs in Chalk Paint - Coconut Milk. You may need to paint the cogs twice to cover them completely. The word was painted in Roman Purple as a nod to the purple wisteria flowers featured under the photo.
To put together, place the photo (matted on a piece of iCraft wooden embellishment that was from a frame used in a recent creation) to the right of the layout. Remember to leave room for flowers and cogs between the photo and edge of the page. Place the flowers across the page to cover up the join between the background papers. Make sure to add a few flowers up one side so that it adds interest and doesn't end up being a straight line and a few under the photo. Once in placed, glue down and raise up the top flowers with foam to add depth.
Slide the cogs under the flowers. I cut some in half to add more around the flowers. The aim is to have them just visible. To finish off, use a paint brush and flick chalk paint - coconut milk on the striped background and add fine pieces of gauze underneath some of the flowers.
I hope you enjoy my layout and good luck with your own creations.
