3Quarter Designs May Design Team reveal for the Twilight Ink collection

There is something so effortlessly beautiful about the Twilight Ink collection from 3Quarter Designs. The rich blend of soft blues, muted greens and inky depth creates the most stunning palette, and those florals… absolutely breathtaking. They are detailed, delicate and incredibly versatile, making it so easy to build layers and depth without overwhelming your page.

For this layout, I scrapped one of my most treasured photos of my heart dog, Nanook. I knew I wanted the focus to stay soft and emotive, so I created my own background using distressed vertical strips. By tearing the edges and layering them over a deeper toned base, it allowed the darker hues of the collection to peek through while still keeping an overall gentle, blended look.

In the first cluster, I layered florals tightly around the photo to really draw the eye inward. The blues in the flowers pick up perfectly on the tones in the background, and I added a few pearls to enhance that soft, romantic feel without adding heaviness.

 I included the sweet little deer element, which adds a whimsical touch without taking away from the elegance of the layout. Tucked into the florals with a few pearls scattered nearby, it helps complete the visual triangle and keeps your eye moving across the page.

The vertical strips underneath show off the distressing beautifully. Leaving the edges rough and slightly inked helps them blend naturally into the page, rather than feeling too structured. It’s a simple technique, but it really lets the collection colours do all the work.

Along the top of the layout, I fussy cut the floral border from one of the 12x12 papers and paired it with crocheted doilies. This combination adds such a beautiful contrast of texture – the printed florals bring that signature Twilight Ink elegance, while the doilies soften everything and give a slightly vintage, handcrafted feel.

One of my favourite details is the bow embellishment nestled into the florals. It adds a gentle focal point and a touch of dimension, while still keeping within the soft colour palette. The layering here is key – mixing fussy cut elements with subtle textures creates that full, rich cluster without bulk.

Finally, the small layered pocket on the right brings everything together. With soft textures, subtle layering and a hint of twine, it adds just enough interest without competing with the photo. It’s these little finishing touches that really make the Twilight Ink collection shine.

This collection is truly something special – soft, elegant and incredibly versatile. Whether you’re creating something feminine, nostalgic or heartfelt like this page, it gives you everything you need to build depth, texture and beauty with ease.
