I printed the quote directly onto smooth cardstock, and kept the design simple to keep the focus on the butterflies, which I printed onto photopaper and coloured with Twinkling H2O's 'Summer Breeze'. I added some Kaisercraft Rhinestone Strips to finish it off. And something different for me ~ I added some extra butterflies to the inside as well:
This is also for:
# Paper Sundaes ~ Gems and wings
# Truly Scrumptions ~ Things with wings
Moving on to some other little miracles of nature - I was enthralled by these tiny toadstools which I saw at Mount Tamborine last month. They are only about an inch high and the prettiest shade of orange. I couldn't resist scrapping this photograph with Cosmo Cricket 'Earth Love' paper - finally my decision to 'wait for just the right layout' has been vindicated!
This one is for:
# Scrapping Everyday Miracles ~ Use paint and type-written journalling
I used Jo Sonya 'Titanium' acrylic paint for the background, and 'Courier' font for the journalling
# Tip Top Tuesday ~ T is for ~ 'tiny' and 'toadstools'
Wow Karen, that card is amazing but wowsers that layout is just stunning, you are so awesome with the busy backgrounds, this layout rocks, but I just cannot seem to use them, I need this inspiration. I started my job, love it, but trying to get into some sort of routine, looking forward to the next school holidays as I will have them off and we can catch up. I look forward to seeing Jazi again, she is gorgeous. Melxx
