HELLO BEAUTIFUL


August Kit of the Month Layout

"Whispering Memories"

I was inspired by birds, eggs, layers, and natural textures for this layout.  I received "PINK" roses in the kit and I dyed them red with "Ranger" alcohol ink to match the red on the photo and red buds on the leaves.  While in process of creating, I received some vintage lace from a "Flying Unicorn" member (Cathi O'Neill).....We arranged a personal swap.  Of course the vintage lace accented this layout perfectly so I used it.  Thank you Cathi!  Tea stained colored vintage lace is also included in the kit which I used along the bottom layered with punch work.  I used various punches and incorporated hand stitching.  I altered a corner piece of "Dusty Attic" (included in the kit) and used it as a bowl to hold the eggs.  I added "Glossy Accents" (included in the kit) to various items on the page.
Thank you for looking!
