Just in time for spring, Hip Kit Club’s March 2018 main kit is setting my scrappy heart aflutter. It’s filled with butterflies — as is my yard, so I included both on this layout:
To create the background, I painted white cardstock with watercolors in caterpillar and butterfly hues, and then layered it over a sheet of vellum as well as several springy patterns from the main kit.
I then stitched wavy “flight paths” over the page and connected each to a butterfly embellishment. Because some of them were layered with dimensional adhesive, making stitching tricky, I took those apart and used their layers separately.
Want to create layouts like this? Our monthly kits include coordinated papers, embellishments, and supplies to bring your scrapbook pages to life.
The journaling focuses on the “little miracles” that have made a temporary home at our home this spring, and my admiration for them.
I printed over cardstock on which I had used the excess watercolor paint. I paint on scrap paper all the time with leftover paint instead of throwing it away — these colorful scraps come in handy sooner or later (in this case, sooner).
Thanks for stopping by today!
