I’m back with my second February Design Team share for 3Quarter Designs using the Honey Fields Collection. I’m still completely smitten with the this collection.
This range is one of those beautifully thought-out collections that you can return to again and again and still discover new possibilities. The quality of 3Quarter Designs products always impresses me – the papers are sturdy, the colours are rich and true, and the embellishments coordinate so effortlessly that creating feels more like a dream.
For this layout I chose a photo of my parents taken at my wedding. It is one of those images that holds so much meaning, and I wanted to give it a soft, elegant home. I used the little frame images from the 12-inch off-cut strip in the pack and created a cluster of photo frames around the picture, almost like a collection of memories gathered together. Those strips are such a clever inclusion in the kits – they are packed with useful elements that are easy to overlook but can become the hero of a page.
I wanted the background to feel gentle and airy, so I did a little blending with Distress Oxide inks to create a wash of colour that matched the tones in the collection. This gave me a place to anchor all the pretty florals and frames without overwhelming the photo. The papers in Honey Fields layer so naturally that the design almost builds itself.
This time I was drawn to the deeper blue in the range and decided to pull that out as a feature colour. I added tiny gems in the same blue hue to give a little sparkle and to help those tones pop against the softer yellows and creams. The combination feels classic and elegant, perfect for a wedding memory while still keeping that warm, sunny Honey Fields vibe.
Working with 3Quarter Designs products is always such a pleasure. The attention to detail in the artwork, the way the colours blend across the whole collection and the generous mix of diecuts, off cut strips and fussy cutting elements make it easy to create pages that feel thoughtful and complete. Honey Fields has shown me once again how versatile a single collection can be – from carefree summer photos to heartfelt family moments.
