You Make Me Happy by Jo Simons

Hello friends and a Happy New Year to you all!

I hope this year brings you all much love and happiness!

Today I have a layout to share with you all.

I am still very much enjoying using the Ooh La La paper range and I have also added my favourite die from the new Ornamental Affair die collection.

Here is a quick run down on how I created my layout.

I first started with a little of the Anna Griffin Texture paste and also my favourite stencil - Secret Garden Damask.

Using a plate I traced a circle. Before hand stitched around the line you have traced I stamped using the Sunshine Flourishes stamp set from the Ooh La La collection.

I then cut two of the Everly Background die and embossed them in gold embossing powder. I then rubbed a black inkpad lightly over the top to give it a little more depth.

When my texture paste was dry I also rubbed light a blue inkpad over the top just to pick up a bit of colour from the photo.

I then set about layering paper and diecuts and of course a doily :)

Here are a couple of close ups.
