This is a favourite of mine. It took the longest time to complete.
I saw the quote in Scrapbook Trends and knew I would be using it and which photo I would be using it on!
The letters have been cut from an old cardboard box (using BOY O BOY font-sizzix) and then covered with flocking. I found it alot easier to use this time.
The butterfly has been made using the Hearts and Wings die (QK) in a different way. I cut the wings and attched to layout using foam pads, curled the edges, placed gems down the centre and stickles for the "stalks". Voila...A Butterfly.I used alot of die cutting products on this page: Brother (Sizzlets), letters are framed on embossing folder nameplate (QK) and the photo mat has been embossed (Cuttlebug) and then sanded.
The top border is a journalling spot stamp.
I couldn't think how to finish the bottom of the layout so, being my usual self, it went wrong and I tore it off. I put some new paper at the bottom and used my swirls stamps and acrylic paint to do what you see here.
I wanted to produce a collage effect layout and I (think) I have achieved it.
