#couturecreationsaus

Hi Tina here

I have been scrapbooking for over twelve years, and teaching locally for a number of years, showing off my talent for combining a myriad of styles and elements.

I love playing with new products, getting my hands 'dirty' with paint/mists/inks, and altering my paper in as many ways as possible. I really enjoy combining lots of techniques on my pages. My layouts are inspired by the photos and the memories, & feelings they evoke, and usually feature my two daughters.

My scrapping style varies from feminine and shabby-chic to grungy or mixed media, with layered and textural creations.

Hi there,for the layout I am sharing with you today. I used the Vintage Rose paper collection which goes perfectly with the dance costumes for my daughter's performance at a local Eisteddfod.

Tutorial

1. Cut two of each of the decorative corners and one decorative frame using Amaryllis - Laced Frame.

2. Cut a title and tag with Kalini- Memories Tag

3. Cut three leaves using Everyday Essentials - Autumn Leaf.

4. Separate a 6cm Camden Cottage Rose into three sections by gently separating the layers, and cut the largest piece in half.

5. Fussy cut some flowers from patterned paper

6. Cut two Amaryllis - Nostalgic Narelle, and a Kalini - Tall Flower Basket from white cardstock and adhere as shown.

7. Frame your photos using the decorative corners, and mat one cropped photo onto the frame. Journal and attach title to the tag, and adhere to the page using 3D Foam Strips. Attach fussy cut flowers, leaves, and any other embellishments.
