Crate Paper Heritage Layout

The Heritage line from Crate Paper by Maggie Holmes has exquisite colors and I tried out a modern design to highlight them. 

Notice the curved shapes in the background. I custom-matched watercolor to match the paper in the Heritage collection. 

STEP ONE: Hand cut your shapes from three colors of patterned paper. Stitch around the shapes. Lay them on the background without adhering to get an idea where to add your watercolor splotches. 

STEP TWO: ADD watercolor in curved shapes around the background to coordinate with the patterned paper shapes. 

STEP THREE: Add the photo and embellishments as shown above, and journal on the back or facing page if you like. 

Thanks for visiting today, and happy crafting!
