Here's the layout we made at our Scraps and Prayers class this week. Everyone really liked it. I used a lot of Soft Suede, to prevent it from looking too 'pink' for the overall look. This layout would lend itself well to old, sepia toned photos.
I've used layers of DSP from the
Neutrals pack,
Newsprint,
Beau Chateau and
Mocha Morning. They all work together beautifully because I chose the patterns that had
Soft Suede in them. The
Soft Suede heart is from textured CS and the
Pink Pirouette heart is embossed with the dotted embossing folder, to give lots of texture. All the punched hearts are attached with dimensionals.
I cut the fabric flowers with the Fun Flowers die. Each flower has 3 layers, is spritzed with a spray product to stiffen it, and then crumpled up to give it a shabby, chic look. I let it dry overnight, to be sure it was ready for our class. I added an antique brad to the center of each flower, layered it over a piece of crochet lace trim and attached it with Liquid Tombow adhesive.
A super easy way to attach the pleated ribbon is to use an 18" long ruler as a guide. Line it up with the lines on your
grid paper and 'draw' a thin line of
Liquid Tombow adhesive parallel to the ruler. Remove the ruler, lay the ribbon onto the line of adhesive, and gently press it into place.
So here you have it, a great layout for Vintage photos.
Using so many layers and texture really adds a lot to a layout. We finished it off with two little
mini library clips.
