December Daily 2021: Day 5 | Hustle & Bustle
Sometimes December Daily is all about real life and real life for me in the beginning of December looked like me chained to my desk work, work, working! I wanted to lift the mood of a layout about such drudgery, so I decided to play off the heart tag I created on Day 4 (the back of the Day 4 tag) and create a whole background of folded hearts to match!
I cut one version on plain white card stock for the front and then flipped the design and print and cut it this time with a pink paper from the Candy Coated Christmas Collection so that I could adhere them back to back and the flipped version of every heart would be pink. I could have achieved the same effect by using just the pink piece of paper. and it’s blank back side, but the paper I use to print - Epson Premium Presentation Paper - is yellowish on the back and I wanted stark white, so I had to have two papers.
Once that was done, I backed each heart “hole” with a patterned or solid paper in a pattern, then built my layout on top of it! I had a pink solid paper with shiny stripes I created using one of the stencils from the Candy Coated Christmas Collection + Nuvo Glacier Paste in Frosted Petal that I used as my photo mat, and I layered more of the tulle from yesterday under that to play off Day 4, which you can see pieces of when looking at day 5.
For extra embellishment, I added a tree wood veneer from Freckled Fawn and that darling snowflake charm from Scrappin’ Happy Studio, plus that word bit at the bottom from The Naughty List Stickers.
