Hello fellow crafters & welcome to 2017. I hope this year is going to be an incredible one for you. We are all very excited for our amazing event next month. If you have not yet booked into the Creative Inspiration Live event, do so quickly. BOTH events are almost sold out.

Today I have made an 8x8 canvas to showcase 2 beautiful photos taken by my son at a zoo back in South Africa. I had to pair the photos with the stunning Wild & Free range.

The layout I did on the canvas is very simple as I wanted to showcase the amazing papers.

I painted the edges and a border using black acrylic paint. I cut a piece of the zebra papers 7 ¾” x 7 ¾” and stuck it down.

The blue feathered paper measures 6” x 5” & the leopard print is 6 ¼” x 3”. Stick them both down. I used one of the borders from the ephemera pack below the leopard print.

The title is popped up on some 3d foam and is also from the ephemera pack.

Next I die cut some of the elements from Wild & Free, the frame and the giraffes (codes listed below).

I cut a fishtail from the tree paper and mounted it on some black cardstock leaving a small border around it. I added a few rhinestones on it.

Mount your photos on some black cardstock and glue down all your elements.

Lastly, I stuck one of the round stickers from the sticker sheet, included in the collection, onto a metal filigree embellishment, stuck it down with some 3d foam and added some hessian twine to the top.
