2nd Scrap That! Layout with details ..


I'm back today with what has proven to hit home with a few ladies who liked the pairing of the Ladies Diary female image with  the photo of my dgd's horse. I thought it was kind of fitting and fun to do! 

After choosing my papers and using my MS punch around the page, I whitewashed my background with Gesso to really make the images pop. Then I fussy cut my lady along with a multitude of the florals from another sheet. 

Afterwards I got busy altering my Dusty Attic wrought iron piece. It started with red, then peach, then Rustic Glimmer Glam. It looks great IRL although it still looks a bit red in the photo. It's intended to  match the colors in the ladies skirt. 

I layered a few papers behind my photo, as well as  one of the gorgeous paper doilies from the kit and then framed it with some of the bling that Kate included.  I also used the Prima flower but took the dangles off and used them on another page. 

I enjoyed using those really great pearls from the kit .. always love using pearls more than rhinestones. 


Here's a close-up of the feathers I added to my ladies hat along with a small Prima flower.



Just another close-up of the Dusty Attic piece along with some Prima roses that I added to it. 

I think that's it for this one! Hope you have a great weekend!

  5. You always do such beautiful layouts; I always tell you that... lol!!! But it's soooo true!!!

    I love your gdg's horse, he looks beautiful! My hubby's friend manages horses for carriage rides on Michigan Ave., downtown Chicago and we often go to the barn or down to pet and feed them. My mom and I used to be avid horseback riders until they discontinued the riding here in the public parks years ago.

  9. I think this is such a great example on how you don't necessarily have to pair the embellies to match the subject matter in the photo!! Seriously, this is a SHINING example. I love it!!!!
