I am a sucker when it comes to patterned paper that looks like wood. The paper I used, inspired me in both design and color. I created an open shutter window using craft wood and wooden coffee stirrers. I wanted the window peering into a photo of my grandaughter. Like looking into a secret garden.
I fussy cut some of the blue flowers and tucked them in the layers of the layout.
I fussy cut the tags, that were on the back of the cover pack as part of a bonus of the Sense and Sensibility pack. I punched holes though the top and added eyelets with my Cropadile and put string through it.
The title Wild and Free is a Dusty Attic Chipboard. I used Brutus Monroe Mermaid Tail embossing powder for color. I fussy cut the butterflies, added some Rock Candy Stickles and dipped them in Rock Candy glitter for sparkle.
My floral clusters were created by combining 49 and Market Flowers Daisy Stems in Cornflower and the Distressed Berries from the Seaside Blooms collection, I handmade the darker blue flowers using Susan's Garden Black Eyed Susan die, and the rolled flowers were created with a metal die. I made all of the flower centers with Walnuts by Art Glitter. I used some Prima Marketing die cut leaves for fillers.
This next layout was created with the Grow Old With Me collection. Such gorgeous vintage color to this collection.
I tore 2 pieces the length of the paper from 03 paper. I then distressed the edges and inked them with Vintage Photo distress ink, and layered them in the middle pulling up on the edges to create depth. I used texture paste and Dusty Attic stencil Damask #2 on the papers. Once it was dry, I sprayed Lindys Stamp Gang Ramblin Rose and Sea Mint Green Starburst Sprays. The butterflies were fussy cut and covered Rock Candy Stickles and Rock Candy glitter.
The beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard Mystic Frame #1 was covered with crackle paste and then sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Ramblin Rose Starburst spray. I used the beautiful 49 and Market flowers to cluster around the chipboard frame. The pinks and yellows blend in beautifully with the background paper.
The leaves were die cut using Heartfelt Creations Classic leaf die. I used a little of the sprays to enhance the green cardstock. I fussy cut the yellow roses and tucked them in the layered spots around the layout. I absolutely adore the way they pop off the page.
