New Layouts

Using the nearly-new Kaiser Waterberry range of pinks and light aqua, this is the latest layout of mine. The large piece from 'Heavenly' was cut out and put onto a piece of aqua bazzil card. Carefully cut out flowers from the 'Enticing' paper, added buttons and other flowers behind to build up the flowers. The largest flower is two seperate flowers, one put on top of the other. Ribbons were folded and put under some of the flowers also. Three pieces of the other paper, 'Delicious', 'Luscious' and 'Heavenly' are slid under the photo, photo is matted with a bazzil watermelon colour. One stip of the stripe paper is along the bottom and Turquiose pearls added to centre of flowers and the photo. Extra buttons added arund the flowers to stretch out the flower corner. Letters are some from my stash of chipboard letters, painted with Jo Sonja's Artists Colours Paint. The colour was "Rose Pink". To make them glossy, two layers of Dimensional Magic was added. The swirl underneath was painted and glossed the same way.

The next new-ish layout is one of me with a snake. Greens and creams used. A piece of scale paper was used as a border of the layout.A scolloped circular green card was cut in half and used with the photo added, journalling and title over the top. Photo was matted twice, once with the green scale paper and another piece of green card. Green brads were added on the page and larger ones in the centre of the two flowers. Ribbons are diagonal coming from the flowers. Ribbon tied through the card in the centre and around a few of the letters in the title. Dimensional Magic added to the letters for more dimension. To create the scale look around the edge of the page, I used a netting bag, one you can get at the supermarket with fruit, vegies and nuts come in. I taped down pieces of the netting and used a few colours of paint and ink across the page. Ink and paint also put around the edges without using the netting.

Yes, another page of my cat, Princess. Tiger stripe used as a border with brown the inside colour. The brown is slightly crunched and inked around the edges. Photo was put onto a piece of chipboard to make the photo more dominant. A page from an old dictionary I picked up at an old Book store is slid under the photo with the definition of 'tiger' highlighted by using bracket stamps. Two strips of tiger print was used along the bottom of the page and on the left hand side. Animal print ribbon added along the page with ric-rac I inked brown and another brown ribbon. Cat paw brads are above the photo and one on the bottom with pieces of cork. Two cork buttons are through the ribbon on the top of the page. The title was stamped (Stamps bought at Blossies Garage Sale, thanks Gail and Donna, what a bargain!) Another thing bought from the Blossies Garage Sale was a Dymo Label Maker with colourful tapes. The words "Princess" and "Little Tiger" are done with the label maker and put partly on the photo and the dictionary page.
