Live beautifully… by Adri du Preez

Hello everyone!
I hope you are all well.
Here is my first project for March featuring the beautiful Vintage Artistry in Color Collectors Edition Vol 1. This is a photo of my daughter from a few years ago.

For this layout, I used the stunning Paper 1 from the Vintage Artistry in Color Collectors Edition Vol 1. I kept my background simple as it is already colourful and busy.

I added a collection of rub-ons from the Vintage Artistry Blush/Sage transfers at the bottom left and top right of my layout. These designs are amazing and very easy to use, and a beautiful addition to any project. Here you can also see elements from the laser-cut sheets that are included in the collection.
I layered the matted photo on paper stacks from the Sage and Coral Ephemera stacks. These pieces were inked and distressed. I also used a stitched frame from the Sage collection.

To create the flower cluster, I used flowers, laser cuts, die-cut foliage, and leaves from the Wedgewood Layered Embellishments. For the flowers, I used Sugar Posies in Fluff and Tutti Fruitti, Enchanted Petals in Mint, Garden Petals in Salmon and Parchment, Mini Flower Series 01 in Ginger, Country Blooms in Ginger, and Pixie Petals in Sunshine. I also used a few Dusty Attic chippies. I painted the Fluff Sugar Posies with yellow acrylic paint. The edges of all the flowers were dry brushed with white gesso, then acrylic paint, and lightly rubbed with gold rub and distress stickles.

My final touches to the layout included Wishing Bubbles in Crush, art stones, and splatters with diluted white gesso.
