Hello out there! I have a couple of new layouts up on the
My inspiration for this page came from the April challenge {that is still running}
up at 7Dots Studio HERE entitled "April Showers Bring May Flowers". I was inspired
by the concept so went for a dark/moody/factory grey base then introduced dazzling
gold & flowers to show the change from bad to good. Dry to blossoming! I was also
inspired specifically by the colours in the flower in the top centre segment,
which dictated the colour of my paints & accent embellishments.
I just LOVED the dramatic grey paper & wanted to design my page
around it so that the text print got shown off to it's full potential.
I took this photo of my younger daughter recently, from higher up than her
on a staircase, with her crouching down holding onto the bars. Just one of
those YES! moments & the result of it!!
I reduced it to a circle using the Picasa frames edit then used my
Creative Memories Circle Cutter to cut it out. Definitely a MUST-HAVE
gadget that I don't use often, but when I do I realise that I couldn't be without it!
I used the Circle Revolutions frame around my photo, as well as the
Flourish Adornments Set 3 photo adornments {cut up to the sizes I
wanted to use it & this photo was perfect for it!
I really had fun with the flourishes & a few colours of Rangers paint
dabbers then added the dots & dashes with a Viva DecorPaper
Pen. I used a plastic bag on my background for the stippled effect.
I anchored thread, gold twine & craft wire under the chipboard too.
I love the dramatic simplicity of this layout! Of course I added some
Raja Centres from Prima, in gold, along with a few of their tiny blooms
to finish off the whole "Princess" theme! Thanks for swinging by!!
