Ready for a layout that truly blooms? This gorgeous Sketch 4 by Allison Davis for the Hip Kit Club combines a dramatic floral cascade with a clean, graphic background for a stunning contrast. It’s perfect for capturing garden memories, portraits, or any photo that needs a major dose of femininity and flair!
Here’s your breakdown of this beautiful design:
The Focal Point: The Flower Cascade
The most striking element is the huge, dimensional cluster of flowers dominating the left and top edge.
Size & Layering: This isn’t just a few flat stickers! The sketch suggests layering die-cut flowers of various sizes and shades to create a rich, dense border that looks like it’s spilling onto the page.
Texture: Mixing open-petaled flowers with solid centers, and even adding tiny hearts or dots within the blossoms, helps achieve a tactile, realistic look.
The Sweep: The floral cluster follows the diagonal line of the background, directing the viewer’s eye right toward the photo cluster.
The Background: Geometric Pop
The canvas is divided into large, simple geometric shapes (triangles and quadrants) created by bold diagonal lines.
Color Blocking: This is an incredible opportunity for color blocking with paper! Use two or three different solid or subtle patterned papers in the large diagonal sections.
Clean Lines: The dashed lines throughout the background sections hint at stitching, which keeps those large geometric shapes feeling intentional and adds a subtle handcrafted touch.
Photo Cluster: Overlapping Beauty
The photos are clustered near the center-right, beautifully framed by the surrounding floral and geometric elements.
Two Photos: The sketch uses two photos: a square 2.5 \times 2.5 inch photo and a vertical 2.5 \times 3.5 inch photo.
Dynamic Placement: The photos are stacked diagonally, with the vertical photo partially covered by the journaling lines and the square photo tucked slightly underneath. This creates dimension and leads the eye.
Title & Accents
The title is bold and grounded in the bottom right corner, balanced by flying elements.
The Title: A powerful block-lettered “TITLE” is paired with a smaller, secondary text strip (“a long title goes here”). This classic combination makes the title stand out against the background.
Butterfly Magic: The sketch uses charming butterfly die-cuts flying around the title and photo cluster. This little touch adds movement, airiness, and reinforces the nature theme. Small hearts are also scattered for extra softness.
Why you need to try this sketch: It solves the “blank space” problem! The huge floral border gives you license to go wild with dimension and your most beautiful flower die-cuts, making the layout feel full and lush without being messy.
