Unbelievable Love Mixed Media Layout with Video Tutorial for Scraps of Elegance Kits

Hi everyone, I'm excited to be sharing my first project as a Scraps of Elegance Educator featuring the April 'Lynne's Garden Terrace' kit. This gorgeous kit features Paper and elements from Prima's Butterfly Collection, BoBunny Garden Journal Collection, and much more.

My dear friend, Mandy is excited to be married in June. She was very close to her grandparents who are no longer with us. She sent me a few of their wedding photos to create a special piece to represent their presence at her wedding. I couldn't resist using this one to also create a layout of this special couple who are so obviously happy and in love. The feathered background and bird images have special meaning since Mandy and her grandmother spent many special moments observing the birds in the country setting where her grandparents lived.

"Rejoice" Easter Card for Leaky Shed Studio

Easter is a treasured holiday for our family to celebrate. Today Im sharing an Easter card I created featuring the Leaky Shed Studio Cross Set, Flower Corner Small, and to frame my sentiment inside - the medium Victorian Oval Frame.

"Rejoice"

Tips and Techniques
I kept my chipboard treatment simple by heat embossing all of the chipboard images with Fran-tage Shabby White Embossing Enamel. I adore how this product has flecks of gold enamel along with shimmering glitter giving a light but grungy effect. The Small Flower Corner nests around this image just perfectly.

I stamped the sweet lamb image onto white cardstock, lightly shaded with Pan Pastels, and colored the straw with Caran D'ache NeocolorII watersoluble pastels.

Sweet flowers dry brushed with gesso are tucked in and around the chipboard corner. I've surrounded the flowers with color fragments.

Another view of the flowers and you can see better here how they nest right into the Leaky Shed Studio Small Flower Corner.

A close up of the right cluster.

Of course, I had to include one of the Leaky Shed Studio Crosses, which perfectly accents my sentiment.

Here's another view. I stamped the image, inked around the edges, then popped it up with lace and tiny rose buds tucked in.

This final shot shows how I've used the medium size Victorian Oval Frame around my sentiment. This gorgeous frame set also includes a larger and smaller frame.
