LOVE Makes All Things Grow

#artdecocreations #couturecreationsaus #ultimatecrafts

Welcome to the weekend everyone. I hope you all get to create some time over the weekend.

Anita back with you again today sharing with you a very quick and easy layout using very minimal product from the C'est La Vie collection.

For today's layout I used the 12x12 paper pad and the ephemera pack along with a chipboard title also from the collection.

To start today's layout I chose the Ivory cardstock from Ultimate Crafts. This is such a lovely cardstock to use and the array of colours available is amazing.

I took my "Definitions" background stamp from the L'Aquarelle collection and stamped randomly around the edges in a brown in that matched the papers. I then chose a second stamp from my stamp and added some more stamping to fill in the gaps.

Next I selected two pieces of patterned papers from the 12x12" paper pad. The two strips measure approximately 9 1/2" x 2". I mounted these on some of the Carnation pink cardstock. Next I ink around all the edges in a matching brown, the same at I used for the stamping.

Next I mounted my photo on to some of the Paper Bag coloured cardstock. My photo was printed on my Canon Selphy and I left a white border around it rather than mounting the photo on ivory/white cardstock. I adhered some matching pink lace from my stash to the reverse of the photo that I had also mounted on to some chipboard to give it more depth.

I chose several flowers from the ephemera collection along with a tag, some leaves, a couple of butterflies and the banner strip. Before permanently adhering the photo to the page I placed all the ephemera pieces under and around the photo and then attached them all down.

Using my 'wink of Stella' clear pen I added some glittery accents to some of the ephemera pieces.

Finally I covered the chipboard with some of the gorgeous Rose Gold Vintage Matte foil. It matched in beautifully. The chipboard set also has a couple of little flowers with it. I also foiled these and included them in amongst the ephemera.
