Precious - 49 and Market Birdsong

 

Hello and welcome to my layout on the blog today which is a bittersweet tribute to a cherished bond. A photograph that captures a beaming Sister arm-in-arm with my proud brother at my wedding 20 years ago. I miss him everyday and photos of him, us, family are ever so precious and a reminder of love's enduring power. 




The Birdsong collection had the amazing colours and hues to use with this photo. 
I have started with the "Songs of Hope" 12x12 paper and used the 6x8 papers to make a double photo mat.



Adding lots of layers with the Ephemera pieces with the tickets, files, large printed sheets and tags.




I then moved onto the Blendable rub on transfers and added the Coral colour into the page background. 
Laser cut Essentials and Wildflowers have both been used to create different clusters. 


Essential Rub on transfers have been added like the Dark blue butterfly and music notes around the corner.

Final touches to my page is the Chipboard mix word "Precious" and then some white splatters to add highlights around the layout. 


Thank you for joining me today, remember to take those photos AND be in them yourself as well!

You are my Song - 49 and Market Birdsong

 

Hello everyone, today I am sharing a layout of my sweet grand daughter who had her face painted "Mermaid" at a Gala day we went to. She absolutely loved it and the New Birdsong range is perfect to use for this project.



I started with the Essentials White Carstock and added the Birdsong Concerto 12x12 paper by tearing it at around 5.5 inches and added that to the bottom. Then another small 1.5" strip which I flipped over to the butterfly side and added it to the top of the page. 
To connect the pieces I have added the Stitching essentials rub on transfers.




I have then used a 6x8 piece of Birdsong paper as a photo mat to make the picture pop and added some of the Laser cut pieces like the frames and lace.






Using the amazing Essentials and Wildflower laser cuts and Ephemera pieces I have added layers and layers tucked into the paper along the bottom. 








Finishing off my page I have added a Rub on as a title "You are my Song" and some laser cut butterflies flying up off the page. 
TIP - sculpt your wings and add some foam tape underneath to look like they are 3D
