We Are Family Layout by Giorgia

Hello to everyone at Clique Kits, this is Giorgia from Italy with my third and last project as Guest Designer for the month of March.
​
I hope you are all doing well in these hard days and I hope that creativity is helping you through them…
Let’s talk about the creative process behind this layout: as soon as I received my kits, I fell in love with one of the patterned paper included in international series “My Brilliant Friend” by Creative Studio kit, the one with all the branches, and I wanted to make it the protagonist of a layout.  So I tore it in a half and glued it to a white cardstock that I had previously created with a flower stamp and some color splashes.
​

​One of my favorite technique is fussy cutting, so I cut some branches from the same paper to use as embellishments and layers under the picture, along with die cuts from the same kit.

I must confess an addiction now… I am addicted to sequins! I love them, I collect them and I use them in almost all my projects: you can imagine my happiness when I saw the bag full of sequins included in the kit!
I wanted to make something special with them, so I sewed them on the picture border to create a sort of sparkling frame!  I also added some Pinkfresh Studio flatback crystals from this kit to add even more sparkle!
The die cuts frames under the picture are from the international series add-on kit “Lila & Elena” Embellishments by Creative Studio.

In the main kit by Creative Studio you can find a package of lovely recycled newsprint dimensional butterflies with pearl accents: I colored two of them with Distress Oxide to coordinate with colors in the layout and added to the page.
​
The final touch is sewing all along the border of the layout to add texture (well, machine sewing is another addiction for me, along with sequins. LOL!)

​I really loved creating with Clique Kits during this month and I hope you will find inspiration in my projects.
Thanks Gia for having me as Guest Designer representing my beautiful country, Italy!
