Have you ever come across a layout or person and thought 'I would love to do it that way'???? Well I have been following Erin Blegen and Kelly Foster for a while and their layouts are STUNNING!!!! Full of little details, stunning backgrounds and, well click on their names and check their blogs!!!
So after looking at their layouts and wishing that I could do that I had a go. It is no where near as good as Erin and Kelly but I am so very proud of it!!!!
This is my oldest girl. I had wanted to use the A2Z Scraplet 'Sophie' that I had done up but I can not find it!!! Grrrrrrrr. Oh well 'little princess' is a nice title :)
I had brought some school shirts or my girls and it had tissue paper in them. So I saved them and using Mod Poge glued to a card stock. When that was dried I painted gesso over it and when that dried I used 2 different Glimmer Mist and sprayed all over.
While that was drying I got a Handmade Halo Resin Frame and cut in half, painted with gesso and misted with the same glimmer mists that's I used on the tissue paper
This is a close up of the frame. In the frame is Handmade Halo Mulberry flowers and charm. The A2Z Chipboard was painted with gesso then with light blue paint
This is the other side of the frame with the same flowers as the top but with a resin word 'love' (also from Halo) and the butterfly is A2Z that was gesso, put some embossing powder on it and painted over it. You can also see the drew drops from Halo that I used.
Some beautiful lace from Halo
My title is A2Z Scraplet that was painted with gesso and lightly gone over with a Distress Stain light pink
All these flowers are from halo. I just love the big blue handmade one!!!! The green leaves are from a die. The bit of chipboard that you see under the title was with the butterfly but I cut them off, inked them in 2 different greens and placed under the title
This is a pic of the backgound. I used a template and used texture paste for the 2 butterflies and more drew drops.
Well that's it. I hope you like it as much as I do .
Thanks for looking
Belinda :)
