Best Friend...

Like I said previously I made quite a few layouts using the Skylark Paper Pack. Today I have another 2 page layout that was made using that paper and the chipboard elements and the embellishments. I took 2 different layouts that were featured in the CTMH Idea Book and turned them into a 2 page spread. I changed just a few things up in putting these 2 pages together.
The left page has some stitching, some zipper lace ribbon, a little teal shimmer trim, a scalloped border chipboard elements, these rel cool enamel shapes that in this case I placed some Kraft paper behind the opening. some black & grey bubbles  and some pretty resin embellishments. Again using that beautiful B&T paper as the base page does so much all on it's own. The letters were cut from the Artiste cartridge at 1". Last but not least a little stamping was added.
Note: the area that shows the blank piece of CS is where the photo is to be placed. I put that in it's place until I can add my photo. If your photo isn't as large and you want to mat it then I would use white daisy not the colonial white that I have shown here. I had just taken a scrap to insert there temporarily.
The right page so it would blend fairly well well with this page has many of the same elements used. My thoughts for the pictures I am going to use will be of my Husband & I. It is rare that I or my husband are in any of my layouts.This one is perfect for some photos of the two of us.
Here is a little trick on my stamped large bird. The large bird you see in this layout was stamped twice with Cocoa ink. On one of the stamped images I used a dauber and colored in the bird with Juniper ink. Then I cut that bird out but not the legs. Then layered the two together. That way you can color outside the lines but have a clean looking image when you are done.

Thanks for stopping by
See you next time.
