Kaisercraft Close-up by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone   I have another cool collection from Kaisercraft to share with you today. Lots of groovy colours in the Close-up collection - a few of the papers remind me of the 70's and  are lots of fun!   I've two layouts to share with you today. For my first one, I have used the quote on the background paper as my title: Life is like Photography. Always look on the bright side of Things. (Photo by Lily, age 7).  

  This paper has such a fantastic background, I've just complimented it by using the memory box mask which is very similar to the pattern on the bottom left corner of the paper. I have extended it to the top left and to frame my papers using a lightly applied black ink.    I've also used a gelato to stamp a bit of the mustard colour to the centre of the layout as you can see in this close up, along with some stamped texture dots.  

  Lots of pretty flowers in this range, including some from the collectibles pack which I have used as well as some lovely Green Tara flowers and some 2Crafty feathers I've used as leaves. I've inked them with some distress stain and there is a little glimmer of gold - which was on the sponge I used - love the effect! I then went over the stem and leaf edges with a copic marker. 

My second share for this week is: {heart} My Canon.  

   

 This range is just perfect for recording about the items we use to help us memory keep! I love my canon camera - I do need to do a lot more practice with it though!!   As you can see, I have used the memory box mask again - it works so well with this range! I have added a few splashes of Dylusions inks to add a bit of colour to the kraft background. I've finished with a cute camera flair badge.  

  And on this side you can see I have added some film strip washi tape and a Kaisercraft smile sticker to compliment the camera theme!

I've used some older stickers for my title along with a veneer heart which I've inked in red. I love the strip on the bottom of one of the papers with all the words, just finishes it off nicely!

  Thanks for stopping by, 
till next week Fiona x
