This layout was done in less than 30 minutes! Actually probably closer to 20 if you really want to know the truth! It is important that you should know that I usually take FOREVER to commit to a final design. Not today!
As you can see, I used a lot of stickers for this basic design. With all the different kinds of stickers available in the Midday Medley Nestable Festival Sticker Kit and Sticker Flair Set, the design was easy.
However, I'm all about the little details. So, when I was editing the photo, I realized that I still wanted a bit more. I pulled out another sticker, added a few quilling circles and took a new photo. This was more like it, however I still wasn't quite happy with it.
It may seem small, but I added a few punched flowers behind 3 of the quilling circles. Yes, a tiny detail, but it pulled the yellow that I loved into a few smaller places which made me happier with the balance. At this point, I also decided to add a title. Done! Still fast at under 40 minutes!
In this photo, you can see where I added the tiny punched flowers. Because my photo was raised, I added a couple of foam dots to the back of the heart sticker to make it layer better.
The sticker that was originally used as a design element seemed like to a good place to add a title. The small alphabets in the Sticker Flair Kit fit perfectly. A few more details and it's finished!
DESIGNER TIP | Tips for speed- Don't use a lot of paper. Because 3 Birds does such a beautiful job with their stickers and embellishments, you can get away with this.
- Stickers! They are already done for you. Shapes, words, layers, borders... 3 Birds does it all!
- Stick with what you know. I almost always add ribbon and flowers, so I pulled them out at the beginning and didn't spend forever searching for a lot of extras.

BEAUTIFUL! I am currently playing catch-up on posts, as I am one of those who haven't been receiving them, but was able to find the directions so I can 'get notifications' now. I too am a FLOWER FANATIC and LOVE LAYERS, so this 'quickie' version was good for me to say. I ALSO take HOURS to do a layout, even taking photos of it as I move things around and create different versions until I feel it's "Just right" lol Tweet, tweet, tweet & SCRAP ON!
