Loving These Moments using Echo Park Paper Co by Kerryn Fry

Good morning everyone. Today I've created a second page using  Echo Park Paper Co Happy Birthday Boy. This time it was not quite used for the intended purpose, but it does involve cake. Mr then 5, enjoying a cupcake. But from memory, I'm pretty sure he only ate the icing.  

 I've started with a plain piece of Kraft cardstock.

Then I've laid out the patterned papers

and cut strips from different papers, coordinating the colours and patterns.

I've then built layers under the photos, matted the photos with black cardstock and 

then lifted the photos with cardboard.

The 2 Crafty Stars have been covered with patterned papers

and the frames have been painted with Black Soot Distress Paint.

I've hand cut some cupcakes from the papers and 

added stickers from the Element Sticker Sheet.

I have matted some of the stickers used with black cardstock 

to help them pop above the patterned papers.

Most have the embellishments have been given dimension with foam tape.

The 2 Crafty title Loving These Moments has been painted with Black Soot.

I have used a black gel pen to add faux stitching on the page.

I have used black as an accessory on the page

to balance with the beautiful, bright colours.

The subtitle has been cut from the 3x4 Journaling card.

A simple page this week with a burst of colour.

Thanks for visiting the blog today.

Fiona will be back on Monday to share her next project,

I hope you can join us.
