This is my take
on the July Mood Board from Très Jolie, using several sheets of the Denim &
Girls collection from Maja Design and a good helping of the flowers and other
embellishments that Kim selected for the Main Kit.
When I saw the
hearts pattern on the “B” side of the Pink Linen sheet, this photo from my
“must scrap” pile immediately came to mind. Here’s how it all came together.
I
began by cutting an 8” x 8” square from the center of the bottom paper and put
it aside. Using Scōr Tape, I adhered the remaining piece to a piece of
packaging to give it stability; this would be my base.
The
Pink Linen sheet was trimmed to 11 ½” x 11 ½” and punched in random spots
around the edges before distressing and inking all around. When I was satisfied
with the border, I taped it to the base.
I
cut a 4 ¼” x 5 ¼” piece from the paper that I had taken from the center of the
base, punched it down one side and distressed and inked the remaining edges.
This was placed under my photo with a bit of packaging in between.
I
flipped the remaining paper over to expose the dark print and used it along
with one of the bracket tags (again, distressed and inked) to complete my
layers.
And
now it was time to embellish my page.
First,
the amazing chipboard heart from Creative Embellishments: I simply dabbed it
with the chalk edger; this ink is so “juicy” that one coat on the bare surface
was all that I needed. I glued it down to the side of the photo, using a small
piece of foam tape under the “splat” on top to give it dimension.
I cut the
reverse sides of the UPC strips from the pattern paper into smaller pieces.
After distressing and inking the edges, I placed them here and there around the
page.
One of the
strips went under the photo as the title piece.
I layered
several flowers at the corner under the bottom of the chipboard piece. I cut
apart some of the lace that came in the June kit and tucked it in here and
there. I used some flat-back pearls (a gift from my SBC buddy, Dawna) to fill
in the empty spaces.
I finished my
page by adding some flowers and lace to the strips that I had placed in the
upper corner.
