Hello, Karen here and I'm excited to now be working with the gorgeous Lavender Farm collection from Mintay Papers. I'm loving the colours and images in this collection.
I'm lucky to live just a 15 minute drive from a lavender farm so had to use photos, taken from a visit, on my first layout.
I started with a sheet of 'Purple Pizzazz' Bazzill cardstock and onto this I attached, with machine stitching, a sheet of paper #1 which had been trimmed slightly on all four sides so that a narrow border of the purple cardstock still showed.
As I had two sheet of paper #1 I was then able to fussy cut part of the design from the other sheet and attach this on top of the first sheet (decoupage style) with 3D foam underneath to create some dimension.
A few die cuts from the die cut pack were also added.
My two photos were matted onto more of the purple cardstock and attached to the top half of the page.
I embellished the photo with a chipboard piece from Dusty Attic. The chipboard was coated in Gesso and then painted with white acrylic paint tinted with a tiny bit of Wilted Violet Distress Ink. When the paint was dry, a slightly darker colour paint was stippled on top to make the colour look less flat.
The chipboard was attached to the layout and a die cut bow was added to the top.
I stamped a sign post (using a stamp from my stash) onto a scrap of grey paper, wrote on it the name of the lavender farm and stuck this to the bottom of the layout.
Finally, I added some word strips from the chipboard stickers sheet.
Please do hop over to the shop to see this collection and all the other beautiful collections from Mintay Papers. I know you won't be disappointed.
Take Care, Karen x x
