I adore Studio Calico kits till I found saw them for the first time. I grabbed the Block Party Main Kit and two Add-Ons (1 Pollard Avenue and 4 Wooodbrook Road).
Kits are available for purchase and there’s also some new shop items this month too. Block Party has also a set of printables, they really help fill up the kits. I managed to create eight layouts this month and if time allowed I would have kept on going!
This one is my Main Only layout for January:
When I saw this special Studio Calico circles vellum for the first time, I knew that I will use this picture! I made it a few weeks ago in Paris. It was directly in front of Centre Pompidou. I love when the motive or colours from the picture coming to my layout!
I added my favourite printables and little mixed-media actions. I used two colours of watercolours – which I adore!
I tried to add as much green colours as it possible 🙂 I found some proper shade od green in the Main kit – the same shade as I have on my photo.
It was my first ‚Main Kit’ work and I was stressed out, but I truly like this layout 🙂
This is the Pollard Avenue (no.1) Only; I add the chipboard ABC to dreate the topic (from the Main Kit), the rest is coming from this Add-On:
I wanted to stick to neutrals for this one so I used a lot of beige, cream and pale blue. The only intensified details here are a piece of ocher chevron paper (you know this colour, don’t you… this is a dirty shade of yellow…), and the badge with adorable cow 🙂
I decided to use here this beautiful pale wooden paper as a background because the children on the photo swam in the exact same shade wooden tub!!! They had a lot of foam and they looked as bathed in milk.
I made here a lot of layers, I used almost every paper from this add-on. The maily shape theme here is a start – I added a lot of stars! I also stamped three sweet tiny duckies – do you see them?! 🙂 Who will find them?
Gold glitter was my perfect finish here. I think it fit splendidly.
