MAGIC - 49 and Market Spectrum Gardenia

 

Hello and welcome to my layout today of my ultra sassy and gorgeous grand daughter just after she had "Mermaid braids" put in her hair. I have lots of amazing photos of her doing different poses all by herself but I chose this one to start with as it is my favourite. Stay tuned for more !

I couldn't go past this amazing 12x12 paper with the rainbow array of butterflies at the top so this is what I started with.

I have used the Foundations plain black piece as a photo mat then added the colourful view finder from the ephemera pack to the side after cutting it in half.

The cute little "you are colorful" piece is from the General laser cut set and has faux stitching to look like a fabric tag.

Along the top I have used butterflies in their respective colours from the Butterfly Laser cut set, shaping the wings to emulate flying and adding silicone underneath to keep the shape then adding a Best Ever circle and bow from the ephemera pack.

I had an amazing time layering lots of pieces from the Floral, general and leaves laser cut packs that are choc-o-block FULL of all different and amazing elements. Shape your laser cuts by rubbing the reverse with an embossing tool on a soft surface like a mouse pad then add foam tape or silicone to keep the shape and form.

To finish off my page I have used the "Magic" chipboard word as a title and to anchor down my huge bouquet of florals. To mirror the butterflies at the top of the paper I have added a row of different colours from the "Butterfly Washi Stickers" roll.

Always and Forever - Color Swatch Toast

 Hello everyone, today I have created a layout for my mum for Mothers Day in a few weeks of my amazing Brother and Sister in laws wedding day.

I have started with two sheet of the Number 1 paper and cut a square out of the middle of the plain side which has been used as a photo mat, then cut down the other sheet to 11.5x11.5 inches and attached to the base sheet with a border around it.

I have used the stitched Frame set around the main photo and also layered below, above and to the sides with the acetate filmstrips.

The two clusters one on each side of the photo have been made with layers and layers of laser cuts, acetate leaves and butterflies.

To add dimension and depth to the laser cuts you just rub the back of the piece with an embossing tool onto a soft surface like a mouse pad. Underneath I have used silicone like liquid scrap dots but you can use foam tape or even blobs of hot glue can make a base for your item. I have added an array of rub on transfers including the “Always and Forever” title.

 

You can see the different layers here, I have used pieces of chipboard inbetween to add height. Finishing off my page I have added Rustic Bouquet flowers in Cranberry colour which is perfect for the Toast collection.
