I was inspired by
this photo of my granddaughter looking so grown up to dig deep into my paper
stash for all that I have left of Prima’s Flights of Fancy collection.
I hollowed out the
two bottom sheets, so I’d have something to use as matting. To keep my layout
stable and to add some dimension, I glued a piece of thin chipboard between
each layer.
I punched out a
border strip from the Tiptoe sheet, cut it in half and arranged it to fit on
either side of the center image.
After attaching
the matted photo and circle, I used a Memory Box stencil and crackle paste to
add “Heart Confetti” below. It ended up just a bit too bright, so I sprayed on
some mist, diluted it with a couple of sprays of water and dried it with my
heat tool. I lightly went over the hearts with a baby wipe and then used
Distress Ink to tone them down a bit more.
There are a lot of
flowers on this layout. Somehow, I couldn’t seem to stop, tucking in some lace
and adding a few pearls here and there.
A few more pearls
were placed on the top of the circle to create a more balanced look.
Lastly, I punched
out several butterflies, inked the edges and placed a few pearls down the
centers. When that was done, I adhered a small piece of foam tape to each
bottom to make them “fly” off the page.
