For this layout, I began by cutting Paige Evans' gorgeous 'Heartburst' cut file from smooth white cardstock.
Next, I backed that cut file (leaving the heart unbacked) with a colourful mix of patterned papers from the collection. To make it really pop, I positioned it in the centre of a slightly trimmed down piece of black 12x12 cardstock. A layer of 3D foam underneath the backed cut file gives it dimension and a bit of shadow. Finally, I mounted the whole thing onto a white cardstock base.
Within the heart, I created a collage of punched paper hearts. I used two different sizes of heart punches. As I arranged them, I made sure to spread out the various colours and sizes for a balanced look. For a little extra sparkle, I also scattered a few iridescent sequins among the punched hearts.
My photo was double matted to help it stand out, and I positioned it near the bottom of the layout, letting it slightly overlap the central heart design. To add a sub-title, I grabbed one of the cut-aparts from the "It Happened" paper and tucked it under the corner of the photo. I also added some punched paper hearts to the top of the card, and digging through my stash, I found a word strip leftover from the design team kit I used last month – perfect for adding a little extra sentiment.
To finish off, I die-cut the words "Summer Vibes" from more black cardstock and placed them in the top left corner of the layout. It felt like the perfect title for this happy, summer photo of Lara.
