Here is another page I did with the Simple Stories Snap papers - I used an instagram photo of my son on our very wet holiday to the Isle of Wight! I started with a bit of stitching - and made a 10 by 10 square and then stitched randomly across it in lines, then I added some liquid pearls to the strings too - make it look a bit rainy. I used my large flower punch and smaller one to make some heart shapes for the photo strip and folded them in half and stitched down the centre, I then layered and stitched lots of different pieces from the papers adding a few stickers and a Studio Calico wood veneer camera. The alphabet is from the Simple Stories summer collection - I like that they give you a mix on the sheet as well as some phrases too.
Hoping that this year is a slightly less wet holiday! We did still have lots of fun despite the rain like treasure hunts by car and lots of games inside but a little more dryness, doesn't even have to be sun, would be great. So I am hoping that all of you are having a sun filled day.
Ooohhh just fabulous, it's a real sense of rain on your layout. I'm addicted to Instagram, and I love how you've used this photo
ReplyDeleteI love the stitching its a great way to create the background trust you to have thought of it I agree with Sandra it really gives the sense of rain
ReplyDeleteWow! I think I might be stealing your 'stitching and liquid pearl' idea. A super page.
