"Sweet" Layout for Creative Inspirations sketch challenge.

Good morning to you all

I have created this layout using a sketch designed by Bev Code over at Creative Inspirations where I am a guest designer for this month.

You can see the sketch here.

Check out my process video here.

I have used Kaisercraft's Wandering Ivy paper range for this layout. 

The floral background was cut to a 1" frame so I could use the same paper on the front of the layout for embellishing.

The white paper was torn on each edge so it measured approx. 11" square, I inked the edges then attached it to the 1" floral frame.

To create the embellishments for the page I have used some Washi Tape, (the blue and white chevron strips) and some patterned paper and also some Navy card stock that I punched along one edge with a Martha Stewart punch.

I added the strips to the top left corner of the layout and below the photo.

Once these were in place I took the layout to my sewing machine and stitched around the page where the two background papers overlap. I did two rows of stitching one straight and one zig zag.

I did the same stitching on top of the floral strip of paper in my clusters

For the top cluster I added a black scalloped heart and a piece of the branding strip from one of the papers. I did some doodling using my White Signo pen around the heart.

The embellishments at the bottom left of the photo are a mixture of die cuts and foiled stamping which has been fussy cut. This is the first bow I have made using my new bow die, very happy with it.

For the title I stamped "Sweet" onto a piece of acetate and then heat embossing it with black embossing powder. this was then attached to the top left of the photo using a bit of wet glue behind the letters so it does not show through the acetate.

Hope this layout inspires you to make something today.
