“My brilliant Friend” Kit Layout by Emilie

Hi everybody! Emilie here to share with you a layout created using the stunning “My brilliant Friend” kit part of the Clique International collection which will make you travel to Italy. This kit combines papers from a number of different collections all more inspiring than the other.  The Lila and Elena Add on Kit is a bundle of more embellishments to stretch your kit even further. Make sure you place your order for these kits soon, as they are selling out fast! As always, I scrapbooked a photo of Sophia, who is the main subject of my layouts. I loved how the kit was versatile enough to suit girly layouts as much as it could suit boy layouts. I used the more subtle pink colors to create a page that would suit my daughter.
​

​To start off, I created a mixed media background by coloring some modelling paste in the same pink colors as the washi tape that had been used to close-off the little bag of embellishments. I loved how it merged with the fake mixed media effect of the wood grain patter. 
​

I then layered the pocket, tags, ephemeras and embellishments to create volume and texture. I mounted my photograph on my layout and framed it with even more embellishments.
​

The only item in the kit that is not from Creative Studio are the little butterflies made from recycled newspaper which I am in love with and had to stop myself from using them all on that one layout!
