The main inspiration for the left side came directly from Geralyn Sy's layout she made for her love of photography seen here! It was so awesome, I just had to try to use it!
I misted, stamped, and sewed on that tag - it might be the most techniqued-out embellishment ever!
The left side had a looser (yes looser, not loser) inspiration from Stephanie Howell's layout here - I saw it awhile back and remembered how she used some small punched pieces to make that ethereal sort of look!
I LOVE that paper strip I used on this page - it is amazing! It's from Crate Paper and I could tell it was a piece I would want to use over and over again on multiple layouts, just wish I had even more of it!
I borrowed my friend's White Mr. Huey's mist to mist the American Crafts for Studio Calico letter thickers that came in February's kit, Daydream Believer from Studio Calico! That was a mouthful! I hope I will remember to order the White mist in my next order!
HOW-TO:
- Again, I used the Story Hour kit from Studio Calico for most of this layout!!
- Like Geralyn did, I cut the camera out of the Kesi'Art paper
- At first I stamped those circles on the left side directly onto the dark cardstock and embossed in a dark blue-green, but it wasn't showing up very well and looked boring, so I re-did the stamp on that piece of Crate Paper and embossed in white, then cut around it and adhered it over the old one :)
- I used the Amy Tangerine heart from the AT bits by American Crafts and traced around it first on a matching reddish cardstock, then cut a little bigger so it would fit perfectly behind it
- The middle strip of paper was the perforated bottom portion from the bottom of another piece of American Crafts paper - I love that they have the perforations so you don't have to cut it yourself!
- On the right side I used the Creative Memories butterfly and dragonfly pocket punches and wrote in white with the Uniball Signo pen!
