Be Inspired: April 2018

Hello!! I'm so excited to be on the blog today and share a project that I made with pieces of the April kit, as well as a digital die cut from June 2017! I was inspired by the mood board and the April Sketch Challenge!

First the mood board I created with the April Kit: Winter Park in mind. I LOVE the colors and the florals in this kit. And who doesn't love some rose gold! I hope this mood board gets you in the mood to craft and plan for your pretty products to arrive in April.

Another source of inspiration is this FANTASTIC sketch. I already had plans of using a circle die cut, but got stuck, I popped on Facebook and this beauty was staring me in the face. I knew it was my answer to complete the rest of my layout. If you are inspired, like I was, PLEASE play along and upload a project using the April Sketch Challenge --> HERE.

I also wanted to use a Clique Kits die cut that I ADORE. I have used it before and it's just so beautiful. This floral wreath by Maryam Perez is to die for and you should all stop reading and purchase it for yourself and die cut a million of it. Seriously, you will be reaching for this lovely (easy to cut) wreath for many projects.

Cut File

Alright, enough chitty chat, lets take a peek at the project I have come up with using the inspiration above.

Using Gelatos and water, I painted the cut file. I used Gelatos mainly because I was lazy and didn't have to mix colors, but I also love how they blend and work like water colors.

Using the 6x6 Maggie Holmes Flourish paper pad, I picked out some papers that I ADORE and layered them behind my photo of my sweet little puppy.

What I LOVE about Clique Kits is that you can mix and match products from previous kits. I used pieces from both the February & March kits to add small little touches to my layout.
