Sketch Inspiration - Grateful Heart Layout by Rachel Lowe

Hello Clique friends! 
​
Today I have used the April Clique Kits sketch to create this layout. I have seen some beautiful takes on this sketch so far in The Clique group! This is my 5th project using the gorgeous Winter Park Kit and I still have enough to create more!

So here is my take!

I firstly cut the April exclusive wreath cut file from Clique Kits. I cut one from the Greenhouse paper (yellow side ) and then I cut another from the Nostalgic paper (green side). I hand cut the leaf branches and attached over the yellow and this is how I achieved the yellow roses and green leaves. I then used my sewing machine to add some stitching around the wreath.

I used the cardstock sticker 'Smile' to create my title and an embellishment feature. I added a sub title by using a smaller sticker and finished off tucking under a floral spray sticker. I am a big fan of using foam tape to add depth/3D effect on my pages.

I had chosen my photo before I started this layout, my oldest and youngest who share a close bond. I attached my photo keeping to the sketch. Then for the fun, going through all the embellishments of this kit and placing them keeping the sketch in mind. The vellum bird had to be used and the oh so cute flair! I added some machine stitching to the die cut house (I cut the yellow house from the die cut of three houses in a row).
I finished my layout off with relevant word stickers, some roses and pretty butterflies and yes I couldn't resist a splatter of black color shine.

I am so glad I finally found the right product to scrap this special photo! I do love a sketch and this one was no different. 

​Thank you so much for stopping by today and here is a recap of what I have created with my April Winter Park Kit. I will see you next month creating with the oh so beautiful RIGA Kit.
