Fabulous you. Layout by Karen Moss

For my third project this month I am still using the absolutely gorgeous Vintage Chronicles from Uniquely Creative (I have just seen a preview of their newest ranges so expect to see those used on layouts in the near future as they are soooooo pretty)!

This layout uses only one main piece of patterned paper and lots and lots of fussy cut pieces, Vellum Creative Cuts, Card Creative cuts and fussy cut papers. I have a process video HERE.

I started with a piece of Faded Elegance paper which I trimmed a 1/4" from the top and right and mounted onto a piece of white card. As this has a natural diagonal line from bottom left to top right I decided to maximise on this and add a diagonal line of embellishments.

My 3" x 4" photo was added to the centre of the page, with a large tag (from one of the cut-a-part sheets) and a viewfinder behind.

I then placed two pieces, cut from the Old World Charm paper, at the top right and bottom left.

I 'mapped out' where I was going to place my cardstock ephemera and added these using foam pads for dimension. I have doubled up on some of my foam pads for even more height.

My title was taken from the card Creative Cuts. I used Vellum Creative Cuts to fill in any spaces and a large butterfly, from the butterfly cut-a-part sheet.
To finish, I added Vellum Creative Cuts underneath the card Creative Cuts to give my clusters of ephemera more volume.
