Sunshine | Rebecca Meadows

Morning, thank you for taking a look at my blog post.

I have used the circle templates from the shop and items from the April Fox box.

If you are not already subscribed to the Fox box head over to the shop where you will be able to find all the information needed to sign up.

I have used Paige Evans - Blooming Wild papers for my layout.

I chose peppers with yellow in them to match the sunshine title.

I began by using the circle templates. I chose three different sizes and drew around the circles inside and out, then used my craft knife to cut them out.

I used a distress tool to 'rough' up the edges then stuck them to my backing paper.

I scrap A4, so to make a circle design work I tend to have the circles falling off the page. This is one of the only ways to make larger circles fit.

I backed my photo and tucked in a couple of extra pieces of paper behind the photo.

I fussy cut lots of floral elements and some butterflies from one of the papers and stuck them onto the circles.

These create the base for my perspextives.

The Sunshine title goes across the floral cluster and onto the photo which brings it all together into one long cluster.

I added the word 'My' to extend the title.

Next, I used the sunshine and clouds from the April fox box.

The Sun in particular has the sweetest etching. You must look at the close-up! I stuck these onto the cluster above the photo, making sure that the clouds were tucked in so that again, it just became one cluster.

Finally, I cut out and stuck down the cluster at the top of the page. I felt I needed to do this as I had an odd white space left. I also like the idea of having three cluster elements on my page. This is something that I nearly always do. I think it helps to draw the eye towards the photo.

In this cluster I added 'UR' so that my full title reads UR MySunshine.
