Hello everyone, it’s Vicki here today to share my latest layout using the fabulous June kits and focusing on the cloud stencil that comes in the June Color Kit.

I wanted to make a super big cloud out of border punched paper, so I hand drew a cloud following the shape of one of the clouds on the stencil and cut it out of plain paper. I then punched some strips of paper and vellum using two different border punches and laid them across the cloud shape, stuck them down with double sided tape and re-cut the shape. I used my sewing machine to stitch along some of the paper strips to add some extra texture.

I used the stencil then to draw three clouds onto matching patterned paper and cut them out. I distressed the edges a little to add some more dimension and used foam to adhere them to the page. Using the Pocket Life kit, I cut some words from some of the cards and used another to back the photo.

I also used some of the fabulous exclusive die cuts, chipboard flair and a fabric bow to embellish further.

The Pinkfresh Studio enamel dots were perfect to add an extra touch and went well with the nuvo embellishment mousse which I watered down and used to add splatters all over the large cloud.

Finally, my title uses the wonderful exclusive alpha from the June kits – it’s one I’ll come back to time and again I think!

I do hope I’ve given you some inspiration for using your punches – until next time, Vicki x
