It's time to bid 2014 a fond adieu! Can you believe that when you wake up tomorrow it will be 2015? Seriously, it seems like January 2014, t was just the other day. I want to wish everyone a very safe and happy new year. I hope that 2015 is a great year for you!
The Swirlydoos December kit was filled with gorgeous papers from Bo Bunny's Rose Cafe collection. Here I've layered some scraps under the photo and added some journal pieces from the Rose Cafe collection Noteworthy Journal cards at the bottom of the photo.
I made the flowers using the Prima beads from the kit and Diamond Dust and stamen from my stash. I'll have a video tute on January 3rd to show you how to make these simple flowers.
I created the background on this layout by first tearing off a little strip of paper all along the edges of Bo Bunny's French Roast paper. Then I inked and furthered distressed the edges a bit. Next I stamped randomly with Mixed Media stamps and Stazon silver ink. Then I did some masking in the upper right corner with a Prima Decor mask and Shimmerz Texturez. I pressed some beads into the masking paste before it dried. For a final touch to my background, I sprayed on some Shimmerzing Goldie Lox. That just gives an overall shimmer to my background without adding much color.
I added a piece of cardstock to the back of my layout and I've used embossing enamel around the edges.
