Page 10 & A Card

 

Here is the 10th layout of the 2nd 8x8 album.

I am pleased how this one came out although it is not how it started off!

I have kept several of the elements but ditched two as they did not work.

Most of the elements you see are die cut from vellum as I love the transparency of it.

 

Materials list;

Photo - My hand beaded bird cage ornament

Background - Dream Street Papers - Rue - Affection

Other paper - BG dot from Basics White

         Chevron - Papermania Happy days

Dies: TH Bird Cage & Bird

X-Cut - Mini Star

Other Items:

Big Shot

Vellum

Glassine Envelope

Silver Sequins

Waste Stars from die cut piece

(coloured with Scattered Straw Distress ink

so they can be seen in envelope)

Floral Washi Tape - free gift

Tulle - Ribbon Girl

Dovecraft Tea Party Mini Paper Doily

Canvas

Handstitching

Stamp - French Writing - Hero Arts

I used this on white card for the title

I computer generate the words on paper

stuck a scrap of canvas to it & re printed.

 

I do love to see stitching on layouts and I really find it therapeutic to sit

& hand stitch on my own when time is available.

I went to town here & stitched 3 pieces!!!

 

 

This next item is a card made to send a photo CD to my sister, Tracy.

It again incorporates Vellum.

I made this with a free embossing folder & a free stamp!!

Peacock Embossing Folder - Magazine Gift

Elizabeth Bennett - Cover Stamp Craft Stamper

Paper - Lucy Cromwell Design Stax

The peacock folder was chosen as the photos on the CD include a pic of a white peacock

from our recent visit to Kirkley Hall.

Elizabeth Bennett arrived at the perfect time,

as my sister is a huge fan

of costume drama, in particular the classics.
