Heidi Swapp Vintage Chic - by Linda Eggleton

Hi everyone....happy Friday & welcome to the blog today :)   I am back to share another layout using Heidi Swapp's "Vintage Chic" collection, and my layout is based on the Feb Once Upon a Sketch challenge.   I absolutely adore the colours & patterns in this range, they are perfect for any type of layout & are such a joy to create with :))))     "Addicted to travel" (yep, I truly am!)  

 

For this layout, I've backed my layout onto a piece of Kraft CS & then punched

 randomly around the edges of the spotted paper (Beautiful Songs) and trimmed

 down the edges slightly so that the kraft created a border/frame around the outside of the page.

I've created a cluster of Green Tara, Petaloo & Kaisercraft flowers, along with a

 Flutterby flair & 2Crafty chipboard.

 

 Here you can see the cluster from a different angle...plus some of the

 2Crafty Chevron bits

 

 And some more 2Crafty chevron bits, newsprint washi tape & more

 Green Tara & Kaisercraft flowers

 

Brads....I am loving using brads on my pages lately...they really are a

fabulous staple embellishment!  And I've stamped around the brads in places using gesso & a toilet roll and also a smaller cardboard roll (that I can't remember what it's off)....as well as glimmermist in spots.

 

My title, using more of the alpha stickers from last months kit -  they go so

 perfectly with this collection!

 

And some journaling....straight onto the background paper

I usually write my journaling out lightly in pencil before going over it with a

 journal pen - that way you can make sure it fits where you want it to, and get an

 idea of how it will look.

 

And here is an overall view. 

Pics were taken from our plane trip last year as we were

coming  in to land at Dubai.

 

 

 

I also have a card to share using this fab collection....

 

 

Using leftover pieces that are layered as banners plus some diecut pieces cut with my

Cuttlebug.... with a gorgeous Green Tara azalea on top.

 

I didn't add a sentiment to this one yet, as it will just be going into my card stash for now &

then when it eventually gets given to someone, I'll add an appropriate sentiment then.

 

 

And here is a close up of the layered diecuts & azalea

  Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope you've been inspired by this gorgeous collection!
