Welcome To February

To celebrate the month of February that features the romance of Valentines, we have a heart themed challenge pack in the shop for you to complete. We would also like to share this beautiful layout with you that was created by Vicki using the fairy tale Storybook collection from AdornIt.
 If you would like to recreate this page here is what she did.
First she sprayed her background page (Chapter Two) with a mixture of teal Lindy Stamp Gang Sprays, next  she used a stencil, added texture paste and when that was dry she went around the edge of the stencil with  a versa-mark pen and sprinkled with silver embossing powder. There are  no problems heat setting the powder over the texture paste. The wooden banners from the wood collection pack were coloured and attached to the page with glue and the string was then placed to suit.
 Vicki has used her border punches and dies to create some of the embellishments on the page and the little tear on the left side of the paper takes your eye to the punched out fan behind.
The Storybook Die Cut stickers add a great visual effect and saves on all that fussing cutting.....the flower and crystal is from Prima. Thanks Vicki great work and you can see this layout in store now.
