Cherished Moments using Simple Stories Simple Vintage Weathered Garden by Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone!This week I have started creating with the collection,Simple Stories Simple Vintage Weathered Garden.The photo is a beautiful close-up snapof my Great-Niece taken in 2015.
The base paper is Bazzill Kraft Cardstock.I've used a blending tool and Distress Inks Crushed Olive and Forest Moss to colour the background.The next layer is a quick spritz of water and then mopped up with paper towel for a mottled finish.
The final layer on the background is the Echo Park First Day of School 6x6 stenciland gold ink pad for a lighter finish.

I've added the patterned papers, layering the torn edgesand using foam tape for the striped paper.
The cardstock sticker 'My Heart'has also been lifted with foam tape.
I've used a gold pen to outline some of the papersto highlight different layers and bring together thebackground and chipboard elements.

The photo has also been outlined goldfor clear definition amongst the paper layers.I've also roughly outlined one of the photo mats under the photo.

The embellishments on the top right cornerof the photo are from the Cardstock Sticker Sheet.Both pieces have been lifted with foam tape.

The embellishment cluster to the left of the 

photo is a combination of a journal element

and stickers from the Cardstock Sticker Sheet.

I've used foam tape on some elements.

The 2 Crafty Anthea Butterflies have 

been covered with gold ink and used as 

a background for the butterfly sticker.

The small hearts are also from the 

Cardstock Sticker Sheet added with foam tape.

To the right of the photo, I've used another

larger 2 Crafty Anthea Butterfly frame,

covered with gold ink.

The next layer is a hand cut butterfly from 

the reverse side of Memories Made Paper.

The small butterfly, heart and log 

are all stickers from the Cardstock Sticker Sheet.

They have been added with foam tape.

The 2 Crafty title Cherished Moments

has been covered with gold ink

and the sticker 'Hello Beautiful' on the photo

has been lifted with foam tape.
