A few years ago, I created an autumn wreath layout that became one of my favourites. I’ve always loved that layout, so this month I decided to "scraplift" myself - using that original idea but swapping the autumn colours for the gorgeous purples of this latest collection.
I started with a sheet of 12x12 white cardstock. I trimmed it down slightly and matted it onto a purple sheet to create a narrow border.
To add some dimension, I used my sewing machine to sew a white straight stitch around the entire edge.
On my Silhouette machine, I cut a large wreath from green cardstock and glued it onto the layout as a base for my embelishments. My photo was then placed on the left side of the layout with 3D foam underneath to raise it up a little.
Beneath the photo I added a title from the pack of Creative Cuts.
Mixing the standard die cuts with the vellum pieces created some nice dimension and shadowing.
I tucked in a few wood veneer leaves into the wreath. The natural wood tones pick up on the colours of the building in my photos.
One of the cards in the pack of Creative Cuts was a perfect spot for the details of 'where' and 'when' the photo was taken.
Finally I added a few vellum hearts to finish off the layout.
I'm so happy with this "scraplifted" version of my original layout and I hope you like it too.
I'll be back again soon.
Take Care
