Hidden Layers [Papers] by LBW and PGD

Some feelings are hard to show.

We smile, we say we’re fine, we play the part people expect from us. But beneath the surface there can be a whole world of thoughts and feelings that never make it into the light. Little Butterfly Wings and Pixel Giraffe Design have teamed up to create a collection to create a place for those quiet but important sides of you, where you can be completely honest. Hidden Layers reflects the experience of feeling unseen and lonely, even in a crowded room, and the gentle hope of finally letting your true self be seen.

The palette blends teal, lilac, soft pink, mustard yellow, grey, and calming neutrals, creating a balance between soothing warmth of self-love and acceptance, and hard emotions and melancholy. Moody textures, layered papers, expressive mixed media elements, and thoughtful details make it perfect for emotional storytelling, art therapy, introspective journaling, and meaningful scrapbook pages. It symbolizes both protection and vulnerability and helps you visually express the things that are hardest to share and say out loud.

Create, layer, reveal and tell the story of the real you. Let your pages say what your voice sometimes cannot.

Theme: masking real feelings, hiding true thoughts, loneliness, not feeling seen, doubt, hope, vulnerability, emotions, life challenges.
