Lucky using Simple StoriesSo Happy Togetherby Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone, welcome to 2020 at AAS! I've managed to squeeze one more page  out of the collection Simple Stories So Happy Together, while waiting for my next parcel. More photos from my archives of a younger Mr 15 and his youngest cousin from Brisbane. Some sweet photos with that pop of coral.

This week I've gone back to my favourite base, starting the page with a sheet of plain Kraft cardstock.  I've layered the patterned papers  and added faux stitching to a few different pieces with a black gel pen. Some of the flowers, words and the tabs are from the 12x12 sticker sheet. I've then hand-cut some different elements from the patterned papers. The houses, the remaining flowers and small words, have all come from the papers. That is what I love the most about Simple Stories collections.

The 12x12 Sticker Sheet had the perfect words 

to add to different parts of the page.

Those have been lifted with foam tape to give more dimension.

The small frames have been hand-cut from My Family, 

I've used foam tape to raise a few of the frames

and then added some small words cut from Our Story

The 2x2 Elements provided the heart

and then the 12x12 sticker sheet provided the embellishments.

The journal spot was cut from the 4x6 Elements.

More faux stitching added to a few of the pieces.

  

The 2 Crafty title Lucky has been painted in layers.

I've used a mixture of Evergreen Bough and Iced Spruce Distress Paint 

to achieve the matching colour for the page.

Once the paint was dry, I've swiped the edges with Gold Metallic Rub.

Love the finish!
