Tresors de Luxe Guest Design Spot...More lucious goodness with lace and flowers.

Hello there again. This week I bring to you another layout using one of pieces of luscious lace and a couple more flowers, that was in my Guest Design Team package. I just love the feel of the Ivory Venice Lace (LA-025) in my hands and using it on this layout was heaven. It is lacy and delicate and reminded me of grapes hanging from a vine. So I opted to do a purple layout. It is one of my favorite colors.

My journaling was done in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I matched the color of the letters to the distress stain I used to create the splats on my paper.

I draped the longer piece of gorgeous lace across the top of the page. I kept the lace in it's natural color because the shimmer was just so beautiful. But even in coloring your lace, you don't lose a bit of the shimmer.The leaves were die cut using one of my favorite CottageCutz dies, Leafy Foliage.
This layout was totally inspired by a page that Gabrielle Pollacco did. The purple, the design, and everything on her layout just sang to me... Thanks for the inspiration Gabi...

I used a shorter piece across the bottom of the page for a visual effect. It gave the page some balance.

I used the Pale Blue Velvet and Rhinestone Flower to break up all of the purple on the page. The smaller flowers I created with a Sixxiz die and I used Viva Inka Gold to color them, then topped them with a pearl for the center.

  The Orchid Velvet and Rhinestone Flower also comes in different colors. Be sure to get all of them because the colors are beautiful. These flowers leave a softness to your pages.

 
I opted to cut the photo into a circle to match the photo mat I created with the paper. And I did some machine sewing on the page for more texture.

Thank you for letting me share another layout with you. I have 1 more project left for this month  for my Guest Design spot. But this won't be the last you see me use Tresors de Luxe flowers and laces on my projects. I have plenty to adorn my pages.
Until next time...xoxo
