Hi,
Today you find me over at The Mad Scrapper Blog with this layout I made for my friend of her son and his two children at a recent family wedding.
I have chosen to use a not so recent paper but matching it with some new to store flowers. Janine has so many to choose from you are bound to find some to match your paper or the colours within the photographs.
I took my inspiration from his waistcoat and her dress (don't they all look lovely). I started by taking the Sweet nothings paper and cut it down to 11 1/2, then I tore down the paper removing the right side which I fussy cut around the flowers and then I used the stencil and watercolour ink to add hearts along the right side of the Ledger paper 1. Then I added foam pads under the flower paper and added it to the top right. The left hand side I distressed and stuck it down flat. I used a twisted vine die on pink pearlescent paper to make a feature mat for my photo to sit on.
I matted the photo on to plum card then on to some glitter card before adding it. Then I gathered together all my flowers and leaves I thought I would use
Here you can see the dimensions you get using the foam pads, I stacked that lattice 3 times and it's still under the flowers. Having this amount of hight on the right offsets some of the hight of the flowers used.
I have quite a few different packs of flowers some which only have one or two left but I never would discard them not even the leaves because there is always somewhere you can tuck one in to fill a gap.
On the actual paper there are some what look like fluffy pompoms on branches so I added a few white ones from my stash.
To finish off today I added blue rhinestones and a perspextive title. I hope I have inspired you to use some of your paper stash if nothing else to make room for more beautiful papers that Janine has in store. If you live close pop in she will be pleased to show you them if not sit back and check out The Mad Scrapper at your leisure.
Sue.
