Love these moments by Adri du Preez

Hello 49 and Market Fans
Here is my layout featuring the beautiful Irrevocable Beauty and Vintage Artistry Color in Lilac Collections. I love that I can mix and match the different collections, they all go so well together.

This is my beautiful daughter. Tender-hearted, pure and so very kind. What a joy it is to be her mom. She is beautiful, not because she looks a certain way but because she lives a certain way. She is my sunshine in the rain and wisdom in the wilderness. What an honor it is to walk through every season of her life with her.

For this layout, I used the Time Keeper paper and Sonnet paper from the Irrevocable Beauty 12×12 Collection and the bonus sheet and Ingenue paper from the Vintage Artistry Color in Lilac 12×12 Collection, cut in vertical strips, distressed, and glued to the cardstock background. I used the bar code strip from the bonus sheet as well as the lilac lace border from the laser cut sheet and thread through a piece of lilac lace from my stash. This was glued to the vertical strips. I also added border punch strips.

Next, I added Vintage Artistry Butter / Lilac and Blush /Sage Rub-On Transfers to the left top corner of the Time Keeper paper, right corner of the Ingenue paper, and the green butterfly to the Sonnet Paper. The doily, script, and splash rub-on transfer are just amazing, and adds so much beautiful elements to the background. One thing I almost always do is to lightly sand the edges of my photos and double mat them. I layered my matted photos on pieces of the Vintage Artistry Blush and Sage Nouveau Ephemera stack and Vintage Artistry Lilac Ephemera stack. All the edges were distressed and inked. For the title, I used a beautiful Dusty Attic design.

To create the three flower clusters, I used Garden Petals and Enchanted Petals in Twilight, Wild Flowers in Blush, Sugar Petals and Posies in Huckleberry, and Sugar Posies in Fluff. I love these Sugar Posies in Fluff as you can ink or paint them in any color to suit your project. In this case, I painted them with yellow acrylic paint. All the flowers were dry brushed with white gesso and gold rub.

The two collections I used for this layout have the most beautiful laser-cut sheets and I added flowers, foliage, a butterfly and the cute watering can. A few Dusty Attic foliage, birdhouses, and foliage die cuts were also added. I randomly stamped seed pods from the Irrevocable Beauty Wander stamp set.

My final touches to this layout included a few flat back beads, art stones, and splatters with diluted white gesso.
