Hip Kit Club | Scrapbook Layout | Mixed Media Monday [+Process Video]
Although (or maybe actually because?) the weather outside is very rainy, gray and feels a lot like fall, I created a very bright and colorful layout with the Hip Kit Club October 2018 kits for Mixed Media Monday. All the beautiful florals in the Pink Paislee/Paige Evans “Whimsical”* collection really inspired me and I wanted to use a lot of them at once on my layout!
Some of the flowers were fussy cut from Paper 03, some came from the Ephemera pack that only contains flowers and leaves (SO MANY!) and I also cut out two of the flowers from the specialty die cut paper and painted them to match the color scheme of this page.
You can also watch how this layout came together – the video is at the end of this post.

I also mixed in some fussy cut pieces from Paper 05 and Paper 08 (the phrase banners and hexagons) to add some more pops of color. And what would a floral layout be without some butterflies? Of course I had to use those cute little butterflies from the Puffy Stickers. The colors matched perfectly! For the title I used a phrase from the 1Canoe2 Goldenrod Thickers set which also contains a lot of cute little hearts.
To create my background, I used clear gesso to prime the white cardstock and then used the packaging technique and some of my Shimmerz paints on it. I love the random, watercolor-y effect that technique gives!
And I am very happy with how this layout turned out – the colors in the Whimsical collection are just so bright and vibrant! If you would like to see how this page came together, watch the video below, and if you need more inspiration with the October 2018 Hip Kits, check out my blogposts here and here.
Thanks a lot for stopping by! Have a great day 🙂
