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.

Documented

It's time for yet another reveal at My Creative Sketches, and above is my DT layout, inspired by this beautiful sketch by Liz Chidester.

Using papers from Prima's Stationer's Desk collection, I added some twine, corrugated cardboards, and chipboard butterflies from The Dusty Attic, to give the layout some added textures.

I inked the twine and corrugated cardboards, and then applied the lightest spritzes of glimmer mists to the cardboards and butterflies to give them just a little shimmer. I also added a touch of stickles to the bodies of the butterflies.

Some pop-up foam dots to the photo, tickets and butterflies also add dimension to the layout.

I did some inking and water distressing of the papers, and I just love the new bark butterflies from Prima!
