Good afternoon everyone.
I wanted to quickly stop by and share with you a layout I created today. It has been a little over 4 years since I last worked on a scrapbook page and I have to say that I was a little worried about how it would turn out. My friend Barb introduced me to a wonderful site http://creatingthecraftylife.com/ .They have a sketch challenge right now that really inspired me to make a page. If you havent visited the site, you might want to check it out. They have wonderful challenges, swaps, classes, and lots of inspiration.
Here is the page I created:
For those of you that have been following me know that I am totally in love with Pion Design paper. It is my absolute favorite. Isnt it just gorgeous? So as I am sure you have guessed I used
Pion Design paper for this layout. I distressed all the edges of the paper first with my prima distress tool then went around it with a color box chalk ink in a light brown. The roses are from I am Roses and for the larger rose, I colored it with a Shimmerz spritz spray called Treasured Hymn. I added a few loose pearls around the roses and cut out a flourish using the Cheery Lynn die (mini fanciful flourish-left). I cut it up into pieces and glued then down under the roses. I also added a piece of it to the left side of the card. The bird is one of the tiny wooden embellishments from Prima and I went over it with the same chalk ink that I used to distress the edges of the paper. The bow is a lace bow sticker by Jolees. I am so very happy with the way my page turned out. Below is the sketch that I followed for this layout.
