When
I unpacked the November Market Street kit from Swirlydoos, I instantly knew
that I'd be scrapping this mother/daughter photo of my beautiful DIL and my
look-alike granddaughter, complete with matching outfits, that I took several
weeks ago. Not only were the colors and patterns absolutely perfect, but the
included (and incredible!) sketch by Swirly DT Coordinator Kim Heard is just
the road map that I needed!
The
kit itself is packed full of gorgeous papers and embellishments from 49 and
Market's Heirloom Botanicals collects, along with coordinating papers from
Kaisercraft and Bo Bunny, trinkets from Prima and a huge roll of Darice bling.
This
sheet - The Patch - with its subtle background colors and pops of pretty blooms
around the borders makes a perfect background. I started by stamping around the
area that I planned to place my image, using several of my old Prima stamps
(including one of my first scrappy purchases from years ago - that wonderful
heart). I attached the photo to a Prima resin frame and then on to my
embellishments...
First,
I die cut a couple of strips of Concord cardstock from the March kit with the Kaisercraft
Lacy Borders die. After measuring them to size, I glued on single strips that I
cut from the Darice bling roll.
I've
used flowers from the Main Kit as well as the Flower Add-On along with some
blooms and berries from my stash. Here and there, I've tucked in some more of
the bling, one of the pretty Prima trinkets and some metal pieces - a heart and
several butterflies.
The
borders strip on top is actually a bit of the title strip from the bottom of
the paper, given a pattern to match the die cut with yet another Prima stamp.
Thanks
so much for looking: I truly appreciate your visits... And thanks, Kim, for
your wonderful inspiration!!!!!!
