Kim's Challenge

And without further ado here is Kim's step-by-step tutorial and her challenge for June!!!

Materials:
Cardstock: Bazzill and American Crafts
Patterned paper: SEI, Cosmo Cricket, Basic Grey
Embellishments: Chipboard word by 7 Gypsies, Labels by Chatterbox, Pearls by Kaiser Craft and Jenni Bowlin, Stickers by Jenni Bowlin, Butterflies cut from a Cavallini & Co folder, Mist by Maya Road and Tattered Angels, twine.

Instructions:
1. Start with a base of cream cardstock and attach diecut brown cardstock onto it.

2. Cut a piece of cream patterned paper 9x8 inches and attach in lower right corner of layout (9 inches along the horizontal edge).

3. Spray background with mists.

4. Cut a piece of green pattern paper 8x3 inches and attach towards the bottom of the cream paper.

5. Punch decorative edge along brown pattern paper, cut to 3 inches wide and attach to right side of layout, ensuring that you can still see the cream and green patterned papers along the right edge.

6. Attach photo (4x6 inches)

7. Cut embellishments from decorative folder.

8. Layer embellishments and labels around photo as per picture of layout.

9. Embellish with pearls and twine.

10. Attach title above photo.

11. Journal.

My challenge is to use something not traditionally scrapbooking and mists on your layout. (ie. I have used the Cavallini folder on my layout and mists from Maya Road and Tattered Angels). The mists do not have to be commercially made mists – can be home made.

Don't you just love the greens and browns... perfect winter colours for this chilly time of year! We look forward to seeing all your wonderful misted layouts [hint: if you don't yet own a mist you could use an old toothbrush and load it up with paint to splatter onto the layout... it should produce a similar effect].


Please link your layouts to this month's challenge using Mr Linky below.
