Hi crafty friends! Michelle here on the Hip Kits Blog today. I am happy to show you my new layout that I created using the gorgeousHip Kit 2022 January Kits.

I felt like combining several cut files, so I edited two of the January cut files. I cut out the beautiful flower frame twice and reduced the lovely stacked cups to just one cup.

 

 

First, I created the background. To do this, I used a brush to apply the Shimmerez Winters Mist over the stencil included in the Hip Kits Color Kit from January 2022. I love the beautiful shimmer of the color after it dries.

While the paint was drying, I outlined the cup with stitches and backed the flower Cut Files with different papers. I used the different sides of the papers to add more texture to the layout using the greater variety. I also decorated individual leaves of the flowers with the Nuvo Glitter Drops that were included in the December 2021 Hip Kit Color Kit.

 

 

 

After preparing the main elements, I arranged them together with the photo on my layout and added the title. I liked the sticker “Life happens, coffee helps” since my boys in the photo are busy spicing up my coffee. This is one of those moments where I think it’s best to just sit back and enjoy life. Cheers! Although the content afterwards is to be enjoyed with some caution :).

I have subsequently decorated the layout with more Embellishemnts and added some Bakers Twine from my stash. Finally, I applied generous blobs of gesso and a brush over the entire layout.

Thank you for stopping by. I wish you a creative Tuesday!
