Gilded Heart Summer Scrapbook Layout - Clique International

 

Hi! I'm sharing a fun summer scrapbook layout that I embellished with colorful gilded hearts for Clique International. I quickly fell in love with the 12x12 Mixed Media Paper Pad from the Color Study Collection designed by Vicki Boutin for American Crafts. This paper pad includes 36 sheets (3 each of 12 designs) of 170lb ready-to-use mixed media paper. I didn't have to struggle to create a beautiful mixed media background because that was done for me! Instead, I spent time creating gilded hearts to embellish the page.

I was inspired to add hearts to the background of this page because of the gold foil heart outlines that are printed on the mixed media patterned paper. I cut colored hearts from an older Vicki Boutin paper collection, applied gold pigment ink to the edges, and then a layer of clear embossing powder to seal the ink. I used patterned paper with printed hearts because I had it on hand. These gilded hearts could easily be cut free-hand or with a punch or die for the same effect.

I attached the gilded hearts to the page in rainbow order using thin 3D Foam Squares to add some dimension. I placed the paper hearts at various angles to allow some of the foil heart outlines on the base paper to be seen.

I applied stickers from the Vicki Boutin Color Study Embellishment Add-on Kit to several of the gilded hearts.

The Embellishment Add-on also features vellum and cardstock die-cuts that are great for layering.

I hope I have inspired you to create your own embellishments. It is a great way to stretch the life of a kit.
