Precious Memories – Maggie Holmes – Parasol – Wendy Meffan
Hi Everyone! It’s Wendy here and I’m sharing my second layout for November using American Crafts Maggie Holmes Parasol Collection. This is such a beautiful collection full of gentle pastel colours.
My first layout earlier in the month was predominantly blue and cream, I gutted the 12×12 Notions paper and create a border for the layout. I wanted to show case more of the papers this time and the colours so decided to use strips of several of the papers . I distressed the edges and attached them in a square to white card stock. After this I chain stitched in between each of the strips.
From the previous layout I had made pennants and had one left over so used this to matt my photo. To embellish around the right side of the photo I fussy cut from the 12×12 Parfumerie paper, used the blue bow from the ephemera pack, fussy cut some flowers from the 6×8 paper pad. I used a die to create some sprigs to dot in around the flowers and also tucked in the cute deer from the ephemera and added a puffy sticker. I then added the velum Precious piece of ephemera over the photo as the title.
To the left side of the photo I used a large chipboard flower, along with a fussy cut flower and some puffy stickers. Again I die cut some gold sprigs which I tucked in behind the flowers. I used some black heart and leaf stickers from the sticker book just to give some contrast in colour to the layout.
Finally I added a puffy bow onto the photo and some splatters using white gesso
I hope this layout has given some inspiration for this gorgeous collection.
Don’t forget to post your layouts over on the Hey Little Magpie Chat and Inspiration page as we love to see them.
