All smiles – Layout by Adri du Preez

Hello 49 and Market fans!
You have to check out the 49 and Market shop and view the absolutely amazing new products designed by Katie Pertiet. I am totally speechless! Today I have a layout of my beautiful precious granddaughter. I am very blessed that she is always willing to pose for me.
For this layout, I used Paper 2 from the V/A Collectors Edition Volume 2 as well as Solid paper 3 from the Curators Botanical collection. Where the two papers join in the middle, I added washi tape from the Curators Essential Stitch Set, strips from the Curators Essential laser cut elements, and lace from the laser cut elements. I also used rub-ons from the V/A Blush set.
Here is my layout.

Before gluing the Whitewash Chipboard Frame to the photo I dry brushed the frame with pink and yellow acrylic paint.

Next, I layered my framed photo on Curators Botanical Laser Cut elements, Ephemera Bits, and V/A Essentials Square File Frames. All the edges were distressed and inked.
The title is from Dusty Attic.

I used a variety of pretty blooms, laser cuts, and die cuts to create the flower clusters. The edges of the flowers were dry brushed with white gesso and acrylic paint. The Fluff Sugar posies were painted with purple acrylic paint. The beauty of these flowers is that you can paint them in any color you want.
The large purple butterfly and crochet banner are from the laser cut sheets included in the V/A Collectors Edition Volume 2.

The final touches to this layout included wishing bubbles and baubles from the V/A Butter, Blush, and Lilac. I also added beads, glitter, and splatters with diluted white gesso.
