Hi everyone! Today I have a fun layout I created about my jeans! I LOVE these jeans, I bought them when holidaying in the US, while Nancy and I were shopping with Natasha... so not only are they cool {because they have rips and tears, and wear marks AND bling}, they have lasting memories with them as well.
I made some flowers with Donna's Rose Creations Die and used the watercolour paper and kraft labels from the Mix'd Media Stax. Once cut out the watercolour papers were inked with Patina or Denim Mix'd Media Inx on the edges and the kraft labels sprinkled with Fairy Dust. I was worried how the Fairy Dust would hold up on the labels after I wet the layers, squished them and then used the heat gun, but they kept their sparkle!!
How cute is this pocket? It's one of Donna's new Dies - Pockets and Swirls Set - and the stitch marks are pressed into it, sew it's easy to sew! I inked the die with Denim Mix'd Media Inx and used the embossing mat and plate on the Grand Calibur to 'print' the pocket outline. Afterwards I then lightly brushed over some Patina Mix's Media Inx, hand sewed the detail and added some bling.
This pic shows one of the Swirls from the die set, it's a sweet one, just perfect for tucking in behind a flower cluster. I've also popped in some sweet roses, cherry blossoms and heirloom flowers from Green Tara to accent my handmade flowers.
And I was so excited to actually use Donna's Alpha's Dies, with the printed Botanique Alphas and the GCD Compatibles chipboard Alphas... LOL yeah I know, it's not a new thing but I've not used the 3 together yet and it was so easy! I also used some of the words from Donna's Snapshot Die set to add to the title line.
I really had fun with this layout... I always do playing with Donna's designs, I think perhaps because she uses so many wonderful visual textures in her papers - like the denim print I have used from the Story Book Collection.
Thanks for visiting, until next time take care and be true to you.
