Today we welcome Tina back to the blog with her entomology tag



 Happy Sunday everyone. 

For today's project I started with the clear entomology tag kit. 



  • I only used 3 of the butterflies supplied in the kit. 
  • I painted the tag in teal and navy as well as adding some stenciling. 
  • I layered up cutouts from the Christmas sheets along with leaves cut from various papers using Denise's dies.
  •  I layered in some 49 and market acetate leaves 




  • I embossed down the centre of the butterflies, then painted them and added waxes.
  •  lastly I coloured white flowers and layered them all together. 



When using these tags, as they are clear you need to be aware of the back as they can been seen from both sides. As this is going on a wall I wasn't too concerned. Although looking at the tag it would be easy to add a few bits and it could be used from either side.  

Thank  you for stopping by!

CHRISTMAS LAYOUT

DESIGN TEAM DENISE BODDEY DESIGNS

NEW CHRISTMAS EPHEMERA


This sweet layout is a very relaxed page to do as I focused on the beautiful new ephemera.

1.   Choose one of Denise’s papers that display your style and compliment your photos. I embossed the top left corner with a Christmas theme, it is hard to photograph but it looks good.

2.   After choosing your photo cut 3 larger pieces about half inch larger than your photo. Angle them a little leaving the photo straight on your page. I used some gold twine at the bottom of the left side of the photo and tied a bow. View below images.

 Embossing in the top left corner.


   My chosen paper.


Play with your photo and layer sheets with foam tape and glue. Tie the twine at the bottom of all these papers and finish with a bow and add to your chosen paper.


 View of the gold twine bow.

3.   I did lots of fussy cutting using the Christmas Tree, Ute, Christmas boxed presents, Flowers & a Bow.

4.   I added the Christmas Tree to the left of my photo, view image. I added lots of boxed presents, the beautiful Deer, flowers and a few bling leaves from my stash. Then I added the Ute under the photo of my Grandson leaving room to fill the back of your Ute with ephemera, I used flowers, boxed presents and a large bow.

5.   I finished with adding Glossy Accents to my Christmas Tree as we always need Christmas bling and also to areas I wanted to highlight.


Layer your fussy cutting to enhance your photo or hopefully my layout has inspired you. 


Smiles.
 thanks for visiting
