I am absolutely thrilled to have been asked to guest design for Bella Blvd! This week I will be sharing with you four projects that I created using two of the new Winter collections. The first two projects I created were done so using the "Dad Style" collection.
The rich, earth tone colors of this collection are SUBLIME! Stephanie has changed up her designs a little bit and while she still has the whimsical feel to her collections they are less cute. I hope that makes sense. I feel like the subtle change is perfect for me as my children age and I want whimsy but not cute for these tweens and teens. The dress shoes in this particular collection are fantastic, they really drew me in when I saw the collection for the first time at the booth at Creativation!
The main focus of this layout is a quote about being a father and to pay homage to what a great father Michael is. I wanted something a little different and felt that I was able to acheive that with this particular quote. By using a different font for "father" and "guiding light", I was able to add visual interest to the layout.
There really isn't much on this layout in the way of embellishments and show casing those as the business of the patterned papers really was enough from a design perspective. I did add a splash of mustard water color behind the title to pop the blue and tie the colors of the layout together. To see more use of the die cuts, stickers and pennants, be sure to come back tomorrow!
If you have been looking for a collection that is a tad more grown up and masculine, this is definitely one to consider! Thanks for stopping in today! I hope to see you back tomorrow and later this week!
