Hello friends,

This is Priti here, and I am going to share a beautiful scrapbook layout with a step by step tutorial. Papericious has released another gorgeous paper pack this month called "Me Before You", which is absolutely perfect for the Valentine's theme. But I have used this collection to scrapbook a picture of myself with my lovely girls inspired by the colour palette, the flowers and the butterflies in the papers. Everything in this collection is just so pretty! 

I have used a little mixed media in the background inspired by the colours in the collection and it blends everything in the page so well. So let's walk you through the process to create this page.

Firstly, I chose my base pattern paper and applied some White Gesso on it. Once dried, I smooshed some inks in pink, blue and purple shades with a piece of plastic, popularly known as the packaging technique. It may look real messy right now but as we start adding all the other elements, it will look very beautiful with different colours peeking out.

Then I took some pieces of different pattern papers and layered them behind my photo as shown below. You can use small pieces of left over pattern papers for this.

This is how it looks like when you place your layered photo on the messy background.

Then I fussy cut some embellishments from the Cut & Create Embellishment Sheets. Most of them are from the Me Before You Collection itself.

I pasted my photo with all the layers on the background paper and arranged these embellishments around it in two distinct clusters. I also used some butterflies cut from a pattern paper so that I have them in different sizes on my page.

After I adhered everything, I added some sequins, black ink splatters and White Nuvo Drops on the butterflies. These finishing touches make a big difference to the page.

Here is a close up picture of the butterflies. You can see how beautiful everything looks together.

Here is the list of supplies used for this project:
