INSTRUCTIONS:

Photo 20cm x 7cm (7 7/8” x 2 ¾”)

Start with the background paper SHIBORI. Make sure the stripes go sideways. Work on the top middle of the page. Stamp with the Background script and texture chevron stamp on the top half of the page. The stamping should just about be shown under the overlaying papers. 

Cut out a strip of 30cm x 12cm ( 12” x 4 ¾”) from the STORM paper. Add this to the top, middle of the page, sideways – from edge to edge of the paper. Glue with 3D tape or use cardboard in between the layers to create depth. Add the white Chevrons, using the Designer template and gesso.

Cut out strips from the INDIGO SKIES paper pad. Add strips of papers to the top and bottom and top of the STORM strip, add them slightly to the side of the center. Adding them in several layers. Cut strips of lace, and add this in between the layers of paper strips. 

Cut a few rectangles of paper from the INDIGO SKIES paper pad, different sizes. Add the rectangles behind the photo, using 3D tape. Add the photo with the rectangles to the background. Add boarders from the INDIGO SKIES paper pad to the bottom of the photo. Take a clock out of the INDIGO SKIES collectables. Cut it in two and add the two parts under the STORM paper.

Cut the Love quote from the BLUE MOON paper. Add a frame around the back of the quote with left over paper from the STORM paper. Add the quote to the left, bottom of the photo. Tuck a banner from the BLUE MOON collectables, under the quote. 

Cover the photo, and splat gently with the white Kaisermist over the page, using the inside spray end of the bottle. Stamp with one of the texture butterfly stamps, from the bottom left side to the top. Fussy cut butterflies from the BLUE Moon paper pad and CHAMBRAY paper. Add the butterflies to the page.
