Secret Garden with Tina

Hi everyone, it's Tina Connolly here 

with a layout to show you using the beautiful Graphic 45 Secret Garden range.  

This layout came together so easily using the fabulous "seed packets" and journal blocks on the May Flowers paper.  

I created a flower cluster adding antique bronze leaf charms and brown charming bouquet pin and a Laughter Charming Word embellishment which serves as my title.

Added gorgeous my2angels gardenias and cherry blossoms

 I created tears in my paper so the base sheet of patterned paper shows through .

Happy scrapping,

Tina

Graphic 45 Secret Garden layouts

Hi Everyone.

Tina here today, 

playing with the gorgeous Graphic 45 Secret Garden Papers, creating two simple, yet appealing layouts.

For the first, I whitewashed the background paper inside my frame to soften it a little.  Do this by using watered down paint, or apply your paint with a wet sponge. (Gesso also works for this if you thin it down a lot with water.)

The Twiddleybitz chipboard leaves were inked to achieve a two-tone effect and the gorgeous flowers were layered amongst the large filigree flower and charms.  

I cut the gold flower chain into single flowers, adding them here and there and embellished the pennants with gold rhinestone cup chain.

 The chipboard banners were covered with patterned paper.

To make the edges of the banner 'pop', ink them with a contrasting, yet coordinating ink.

I made this second layout with some of my scraps, using a sheet of cardstock as my base. Combining several Glimmermist colours and a Twiddleybitz Chicken Wire stencil, adds some shimmer and sparkle to the cardstock base.

To get a more subtle effect, hold your mist bottle further away from the paper when spraying.

Lots of fussy cutting and layering of pattern paper flowers give the layout all the interest it needs.

Don't forget to put some of the fussy cut flowers up on pop dots to give your arrangement some dimension.

Check out the Graphic 45 Secret Garden range at my2angels, it's perfect for soft, pretty layouts.
