Here is our first layout by Susan Luke.
- Photos
- cardstock
- Bella Grace Paper
- Inks
- Green Tara - Batic multi flowers
- sheer nylon ribbon
- FTI Rhinestone
- Little Yellow Bicycle journaling tag
- American Crafts Glitter Letter Stickers (Thickers)
- File set
- Mesh Ribbon
- Needle and thread
- Sewing machine
- Double sided tape
Now cut a wide strip of paper for the middle of your layout from the Coordinations cardstock. Crumple it up and smooth it out again.
Use the Rose Red ink to highlight the crumpled folds and add interest to the piece. I also sanded the edges of it and scuffed it up a little
When I was done taking the pieces out, I lined up the 12" x 12" paper again on the original measuring points so I could add my own centre and have it wind up measuring 12" x 12" again.
And then I sewed a double line of black stitching around it with my sewing machine. I took the black netting and pleated it up on either side of where the photo would be, then sewed it to the layout as well.
Then I spread out the 'petals' and stitched them in place. After that I added a flower and a button to the top. I added in some more flowers and buttons, some bling, my journaling tag and a title, and I was done!
Thank you susan for this lovely layout...
