Brrr - Snow - Always an unexpected pleasure

Good morning scrappers - hope its not too snowy and cold where you are.

These are the pictures of us in the snow last week.

For this layout I have used a sketch from Sketchabilities for my inspiration.

 I found some brilliant snowy background paper that really showed what kind of day it was.

I then chose my background colours, which I kept quite monochromatic and went from there.

Here is what I did.

First I adhered my photos onto some white cardstock and drew a line around them  using a ruler.

I cut this out and adhered to some dark green cardstock and did the same.

I then drew around a template and cut out the bracket style border. I  matted  this onto dark green card.

I glued this down and attached my photos.

I  added a one inch strip of cardstock on either side and added two  peices of bunting to which I added some pearls.

I added some more bunting in green and white.

I took some texture/ modelling paste, and added  snowy white edges with a paint brush.

I added my flowers and title and two small doillies.

I then finished off with the journalling banner at the bottom, the date and three small rose buds.

I added some texture paste to the flowers and leaves as well. I hope you like it, see sketch below.
