LUNCH


Morning all,
For this layout I have used a sketch from C'est Magnifique Kits  - http://cestmagnifiquekits.blogspot.co.uk/


This is how I put this layout together.
I chose the apricot  colour from Jessies top and added pink and cream.
I first cut out some brown cardstock to 10x10 inches and distressed the edges.
I adhered this to my background apricot cardstock.
I then cut down my pretty Prima paper to just under 10x10 inches using deckle edge scissors, and inked the edges.
I then cut this paper in half. I used a water mister bottle and misted the free edges with water so as to be able to manipulate the paper. I made a few tucks on all four edges, top and bottom and dried with my heat gun.
I then glued this down and added sewn on buttons and some white cord.
I then double matted my photos and added these.
I added a small white doily, some painted white cardboard, some hessian/burlap, and two journaling blocks all around the photos.
I then started to decorate with assorted flowers.
I made three butterflies and beaded pins and added these.
I made a little air- dry foam bird. I inked the body and added a small black eye.
I added a small key with ribbon, pearls and fibre.
I made some pearl and bud sprays and glued these down.
I then added a little bow above my three buttons and added the title.
Hope you like it and give it a go.
