The inspiration for this layout is the wonderful photo of my hubby as a young boy. I can count on one hand the number of photos we have a him as a child, so it is very special to me! I love the way the sun is peeking through the trees & shining on him in the photo. I wanted to pull from that in the layout & the Prima "Indeed" Collection featured in the beautiful September 2009 Swirlydoo's "Bejeweled" kit were perfect!
I wanted to showcase the beautiful papers, so I used purple & greens to accent. I mounted a printed paper circle to solid card stock to use as a home for the photo. All papers were inked on the edges using a combo of Distress Peeled Paint & Adirondack Purple Twilight. The flowers have 2 die cut layers made from the card stock. The main portion are kit included Prima Trellis Roses- purple mist.
The lettering was colored using Ranger Purple Twilight Alcohol ink applied with a Q-tip. The alpha is 7Gypsies. The decorative photo corners are made from Cuttlebug dies & were cut with my Sizzix Big Shot. I placed contrasting colors in different corners. The small green butterflies were punched from a Martha Stewart punch from the Prima packaging!! Waste not, Want not!!!
Lastly I cut some green leafy decorative edging with my Sizzix & distressed it with the Adinrondack Purple Twilight ink. I then attached a purple punched branch for some extra detail. A touch of lavender & lime green Stickles was added to the greenery to highlight.This layout was so fun to do! I love the photo & wanted to create a calm gardeny feel! I love scrapping with older pics!! Thanks so much my friends for taking a peek! I appreciate it very much!!!
