Layout 4-Work It Girls
For this layout, I used the Making Memories Stamp Lovestruck Die Cut. I have to tell you a secret. I also turned this diecut over and misted the edge of a page to get that little scalloped look...I didn't like it. AND I wish I had waited until I cut out the center of it and then misted it, because that would have been very cool! Try it before you start this layout, if you want!
1- Use an exacto to cut just inside the pink edge of the diecut. GENTLY distress the inside edge. If you're not confident in your distressing, I don't recommend this step...it's hard to distress anything this flimsy without tearing it. Save that center piece of paper...I'll show you a fun way to use it down below!
2- Attach outside corners only to cardstock background if you're going to stitch the rest down. Adhesives and sewing machines don't mix very well, so I used tiny glue dots only on the corners and then stitched the rest.
3- I used the following sizes of paper scraps for this...layer them any way you like!
Large plaid piece is 7-1/2" x 6-1/2"
10-1/2" x 3/4"
10-1/2" x 1-1/4"
Diecut border edge (the brown) Take a look at the Lucky in Love layout to see how I used the rest of this diecut
4- When searching for a journaling spot, I came across this flipped over side of the Flutter journaling book...if you can't find a spot you like to match your layout, who says you can't use the white side of a product?
I placed all my layers and then added a bit of the Starfish Glimmer Mist to tie it all together
5- Place photo or photos
6- Cut flowers from pink Martha Stewart glitter diecut to use as embellisments. I wanted my flowers to span the page under the photos, so I cut two or three flowers together.
7- Add buttons or flower embellishments and a title
