Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone!

This is the first of three layouts I created for my Picadilly class at Made With Love last November/December, using Basic Grey's Picadilly collection.

I did lots of tearing for this layout. I tore out three layers of frames for the photo, which was actually taken a couple of Chinese New Years ago, and also tore around the edges of the layout.

I also played with my Martha Stewart punches, and then embellished the layout with flowers, muslin, pearls, and laces for a softer look.

The journaling strips were printed out and then adhered using 3D foam dots, for dimension.

Here are more close-ups.

Thanks so much for dropping by! :)
