Together using Simple Stories I am by Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing my first page created with  the collection Simple Stories I am This is such a pretty collection,  the combination of rich colours is divine. The photo is three of my beautiful nieces.   

I've started the page with Vanilla Cardstock.

The background effect has been created with the plastic packaging technique.

Using Distress Inks Fossilized Amber, Abandoned Coral and Picked Raspberry.

I have added layers of the colours to the page with water and plastic.

I've layered papers and torn edges under the photo

and top left corner.

The small hearts are from the Cardstock Stickers 

and the word Blessed is from the Journal Bits.

They have been added to the page with foam tape.

The butterflies were hand cut from the 2x2 Elements page

and the tags created from the patterned papers.

I've added some string bows for the finishing touches.

The Crushin It Ribbon is from the Cardstock Stickers

The flowers, envelope and words 

have been hand cut from the 4x4 Elements paper.

I've used foam tape to create more layers 

and balance the page.

 The 2 Crafty word Together is from the 6x6 Summertime pack.

I have covered it with Gold Brillliance Ink.

The same ink has been used to stamp the background of the cardstock 

with the Kaisercraft Texture Stamp Gritty
