This is my entry for Jane's challenge ~ use pearl flourishes on a layout:
It was a super quick layout, made easy by sketch #141 at Sketches in Thyme.
I'm also submitting at Scrap it Girl for the Selfies theme.
Materials:
FWAB Chloe - Red pearl flourish
October Afternoon Sasparilla - High Noon patterned paper
October Afternoon Sasparilla - Pony Express patterned paper
Basic Grey Sublime - Cinnamon patterned paper
Cre8tiv alphabet stickers

This is my entry for Tracy's challenge - use two different flourishes, and one must be handmade:
1> Stamped flourish frame (I can't remember the last time I used this stamp set!)
2> I made my own flourish by embossing a piece of cardstock and fussy-cutting the flourish motif. Then I inked the embossed design to make it stand out, and used it as an embellishment.
I also created this layout with the LESSology Ribbon Fantasy challenge in mind. I used recycled corrugated cardboard to mat the photograph for this layout - it's one of my go-to materials. It's zero-cost, and it always adds the right amount of texture or dimension. As for the ribbons ~ I have a huge stash of dyed seam-binding ribbon, and I thought it would be perfect for the vintage-y feel of the photograph.
Materials:
Kaisercraft Lil Primrose - Fancy Dress patterned paper
Prairie Bird Boutique wrinkled ribbon
Prima Iron Orchid Designs - Build-a-Frame Collection 1 stamp
Stazon Timber ink
Provocraft Cuttlebug - Victoria embossing folder
