Delightful


I love the colours of Prima's Stationer's Desk collection, and have been wanting to do this layout for a while. I wanted a very 3D layout so I added some corrugated cardboard, wood and bark embellishments, and resins, and used pop-up foam dots of varying heights for the papers and flowers.


I applied the lightest touches of distress ink and white acrylic paint to the corrugated cardboard, papers and resins, and for a slightly "softer" touch, I also added a paper doily and some lace to the layout.


The photo was taken in Melbourne last December, a rare one with my DH in it as he's usually the one who's taking the photos. :)


Here are some close-ups.
