Wildflower: Layout by Sue Crease

Wildflower: Layout by Sue Crease


Hello,
Today I am up on the Design Team Blog with this fun layout of myself, on my recent holiday, checking out this wonderful clothing store in downtown Sumner. My goodness! I could have bought this Stetson along with numerous other items of clothing and boots!
I have used papers from 49 and Market along with touches of Simple Stories, ephemera is a mix of Dusty Attic, Green Tara and my own collection of memorabilia. A full supply list can be found below.

I have used 2 papers and layered them. I tore the brown paper, showing the white core, and placed it at an angle. I inked the edges before adding it on top of the lighter card. As you can see, I have stitched a full row and two shorter ones to the edge.
Over on the left I added a half inch strip from the Wildflower collection because there are touches of blue in the brown paper. I inked and distressed all the edges.
I have had this Teresa Collin's Journal Tag since 2008 and thought it fitted in nicely after I inked it and matted it on to the same blue as the left edge.
I used Vintage Artistry Essential frames under the photo and placed it on a foam sheet for dimension. You could also use cardboard packaging the way Janine shared a short while ago. I had some vintage rubons left over so I tucked them around the photo top.
Bottom left cluster is a mix of a dress form, flowers, stickers and stash busting stuff.
In this photo, of the right bottom cluster, you can see I have added a leather tag, flowers, a sticker, brass pen nib and Dusty Attic feather pins. The sentiment is cut from a journal card from Simple Stories. I have also added pearls and gems around the page.
I just love how this layout came out as, you can probably tell by the photo, we were having such a great time.
 
I hope I have inspired you to maybe print a photo in sepia just to switch things up. 
Pop in to see Janine and check out all her papers to see something that will match with your photograph she's bound to have the perfect one. Thanks again for stopping by.
 
Sue.
