Ready to bring the outdoors in? This enchanting Sketch 8 by Allison Davis for the Hip Kit Club creates a delightful little flower patch right on your page! Using whimsical stems, layered blossoms, and a charming scalloped “ground,” this design is pure scrapbooking magic.
This sketch is perfect for spring photos, playground fun, or any moment that blooms with happiness!
The Foreground: Scalloped Hills
The bottom section of the layout is built from a horizontal row of overlapping, scalloped circular shapes, creating a charming, undulating “ground” or grassy border.
Texture & Depth: These scalloped circles are heavily layered and feature prominent dotted lines, suggesting stitching. This gives the base of the layout a soft, quilt-like texture.
Tiny Blossoms: Small, layered flowers with tiny centers are scattered along this scalloped ground, adding intricate detail right at the base.
The Main Elements: Whimsical Flower Stems
The flowers aren’t just die-cuts—they are elevated into tall, whimsical stems that frame the photo cluster.
Layered Blossoms: The flower heads are made from layered circles and petals, with some featuring large scalloped borders (like the central top flower) and others having classic daisy shapes.
Stems and Leaves: Simple, narrow strips form the stems, and small, layered leaf shapes are attached, extending the organic, garden feel.
Photo Cluster: Framed by the Garden
The photo cluster is nestled slightly off-center, perfectly framed by the tall flower stems.
Two Photos: The sketch accommodates a vertical 2.5 \times 3.5 inch photo and a larger vertical 3 \times 4 inch photo.
Unique Photo Spot: A particularly fun feature is the main focal photo spot, which is cut into a large, scalloped circle shape right on top of a tall stem! This is ideal for a close-up portrait.
Title & Journaling: Floating Details
The Title: The title is placed right at the base of the photo cluster, sitting on the scalloped ground. It uses the signature combo of a bold “LONG TITLE” layered over a softer script “long title” with a tiny sub-title strip.
Journaling Spot: A simple block of horizontal strips sits between the flower stems and above the photo cluster, designated for a brief story.
Butterflies: Small, black butterflies float around the top of the design, adding movement and completing the peaceful garden scene.
Why you need to try this sketch: It’s a wonderful way to use your circle punches and dies! You can create all the scalloped ground pieces and the layered flower heads easily with your basic shape tools.
