My Sister My Friend using Simple Stories Hey, Crafty Girl by Kerryn Fry

Good morning all!
This week I have created my first page from the gorgeous new collection, Simple Stories Hey, Crafty Girl. The colours in this range are just amazing  and they coordinate perfectly with the photo of my nieces, especially their hair and blue eyes.

The plain Black cardstock was a great base for the bright colours.

I've layered the papers, balancing the colours and patterns.

The photo was matted with black cardstock to define the edges

and I've used foam tape to lift the photo off the page.

I've used a white pen to add a border around the largest piece of patterned paper.

The 2 Crafty Heidi Vines have been covered with Peeled Paint

and Wild Honey Distress Paint.

I've added a little sparkle with Diamond Stickles.

The flowers are from the Bits & Pieces Ephemera,

I have added Diamond Stickles to the centres.

I've given the flowers a lift with foam tape. 

The journal spot was cut from the patterned paper

and decorated with more ephemera.

I've used more foam tape to lift the heart and flowers

and added a border with a black pen..

The 2 Crafty title My Sister My Friend has simply 

been covered with black archival ink.

The black worked well against the colourful patterned paper.

Thanks for dropping by today.

Enjoy your weekend and happy crafting.

Joining us again on Monday for Fiona's next project.
