Winter Joy

An early winter layout I did last week, using mainly papers and embellishments from SEI's Winter Song Collection. I just love this collection and couldn't wait to use it when I got it. And I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it too.

I distressed the edges of the cardstock paper and tore out a little "window" for the photo, layering it with another torn out "window" behind.



I then decorated the layout with poinsettias from Prima, ribbons and lace fibers, pearls, a metal accent, and a cut-out of the gorgeous flocked bird from SEI's Frost paper, which I attached to the layout using 3D foam dots for dimension.



And to add some sparkle, I applied stickles to the printed part of the bird cut-out as well as the flowers and leaves.
