All About Scrapbooks Australia: "Beautiful", by Amanda H

Wednesday, January 10, 2018

Hi again,

I'm back today for another share.

Today I have a "beautiful" page with a "beautiful" paper range: Wandering Ivy.

Starting with some white cardstock, I next added the "Blue Fields" Paper, which I trimmed, distressed the edges and machine stitched to the cardstock.

The photo is mounted on more white cardstock and also the "Plaster Rose" paper.

When I trimmed the paper edge of the Blue Fields Paper, I found the friendship quote. That seemed perfect for my page, so I ran the strip quote across the photo and layout.

Now here are some close ups of the clusters.

For the title, I used the "beautiful" word from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Chipboard titles.. These are white already, but I had to give it a spray of shimmer, using Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Spray in Snow White.

From my stash I added some white muslin, ribbon and sequins.

I decided to add some 2 Crafty Chipboard in the clusters too.

Firstly, I used 2Crafty Skeleton Leaves. For these leaves, I inked using green ink, before giving them a shimmery spray of Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Spray in Apple of my Eye.

Secondly, I used 2Crafty Leafy Twig branches. For these leaves, I painted them white with Colour Blast Heavy White Gesso and gave them a spray of Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Spray in Snow White. I also cut the branch apart, so I could use a bit tucked on either side of the layout.
