The August kit
from Très Jolie has a very masculine theme, with papers from Couture Creations’
Gentleman’s Emporium collection and metal embellishments from Prima, but Kim
supplied enough flowers to turn “masculine” into “totally girly”.
I think the colors and patterns are a perfect
setting for this photo of my granddaughter from a year ago.
I
started by cutting an 8” square from the center of Sheet 7A and putting it
aside. The remaining “frame” was taped to a piece of chipboard to give it
stability.
Next,
I trimmed Sheet 11B to an 11½” square. After heavily distressing the edges, I
inked them all around to give them some definition.
Using
ScōrTape, I attached the sheet to the base.
I’ve
had this stencil for years. It’s one of my favorites; I just love the beautiful
flourish shapes. I wanted to achieve an off-white texture; Prima’s Stone Effect
Paste in Pumice was perfect. I applied this twice, to show on the top and then
the bottom of the photo, and allowed this to air dry overnight before going on
to the next step.
After
distressing and inking the edges of my photo, I taped it to a layer of
packaging. I cut a slightly larger piece from the center that I had put aside,
distressed and inked the edges and attached it under the photo.
I
glued a doily from my stash to the base, and then placed the matted photo on
top.
I
started adding flowers from the kit around the photo.
The flowers from
Prima’s Perfect Day package are more of a teal color. I gave one of them a good
dose of Color Bloom mist to create a better match.
I coated several
of the metal gears with wax and turned them into “girly” embellies.
Next, I added a
couple of nailhead embellishments; they go so well with the flower centers.
To finish my
layout, I scattered Art Stones here and there to close the “holes” in the
flower clusters and to add just a bit more texture to the page.
A few more
close-ups…
