Dream for Memories Trend Design Team

Hi everyone! Today I'm here with a new layout I designed for Memories Trend DT with the beautiful stuff that came in my kit. The photo I used is from my younger daughter's music concert with an amazing Greek children's choir, Rosarte.

The basic element of this layout is the circle. I used Sizzix framelits to create some circles of different sizes which I used as mats and as journaling spots. I also used a mask with pig polka dots for the background. So let's see the creative process!
Firstly, I used the Swiss dot mask which I should say is a "must have" mask for mixed media backgrounds. It's so versatile! So I made some dotted spots using the mask and gesso. I also gessoed the edges of my patterned paper for a more distressed look.
Then with my Cuttlebug and Sizzix framelits (circles) (another versatile product with many uses) I cut 5 rings from patterned papers using 2 dies to create the borders for my journaling spots. Then I cut with the bigger one of the 2 dies the base of my journaling spots from ivory card paper. I also cut my photo using a bigger die and the photo mat from ivory card paper again. You can see the photos below.

For a more distressed look I stamped on the ivory paper using La Blanche music fragment stamp and Robin's egg ink pad. I also used this beautiful ink to distress the edges of my circles, the die-cut leaves, the white flowers and the letters of my title.

After stamping on the journaling spots I glued the border rings.

The song lines that you see under the photo are part of the photo.
