Hello fellow scrappers! Today I'm back with a new layout that I created for Memories Trend Design Team. I'm really very happy with the result.
I used an old photo of me and my first daughter and some delightful products that I received in my design team kit from Memories Trend.
Firstly I created the background on my base patterned paper using the amazing Heidi Swapp's mask Confetti, my white gesso and some white gesso with a little acrylic paint from the dabber (to create the light green colour which I used on some spots on the paper.
Then I teared some pieces of the Graphic45 and Kaisercraft papers and distressed them to create the mat of my photo and some decorative strips around my photo. I also used a wide piece of an off green lace on my mat to have a more shabby chic result.
I also used some rub ons on several spots on the background paper (you can see some tiny butterflies, a little border on the right side of the photo mat and of course the lovely quote which reads: "When I count my blessings I count you twice".
Finally I created my flower bouquet using the wonderful Sizzix Sping greenery die (which I'm sure that I'll never stop using) and some beautiful Prima flowers that were included in the design team kit. I also used two cream roses that I had in my stash which I first misted with Perfect Pearls mint mist. I also used three tiiiny roses (which I think you can hardly find on my layout) after I misted them with Perfect Pears heirloom gold mist. I also added a bit of diamond stickles on the edges of my flowers.

After finishing my layout I created a little tag using some pieces from the papers I have used on the layout, a piece of lace, some die-cuts that I cut using the Sizzix die, a Prima rose and some rubons. I also distressed everything using vintage photo distress ink. To create the decorative edges on my base cardstock I used the Deco/Stub corner chomper
