Layout Using Kaisercraft "The Looking Glass" Collection

Hi Bloggers,

I made another layout using the gorgeous Kaisercraft “The Looking Glass” collection of papers, stickers and stamps. This layout uses the same collection as my last layout but I’ve picked out a different colour combination and added a few distressing techniques:

I used one of the border stickers to make my title, stamping letters in the circles of the pattern.

I used the banner and butterfly stickers to create embellishments, sticking them first onto card, then layering and shaping as shown:

The stamps in this collection are so versatile. I’ve used them on the background and also as embellishments. Some stamped with black ink and some with gold embossing powder.

I have also used gold embossing powder sprinkled onto the background and around the photo corner frames.

I wanted some black mesh and didn’t have any. So I cut a piece from an old wash net (the ones you put your socks in to keep them together in the washing machine), and dyed it with a black ink pad:

I hope you like my layout.

Thanks for stopping by.

Published Layout

Hi Bloggers,

I have some very exciting news....

I was a runner up in the "Scrapbooker of the Year 2013" competition for the Scrapbook Magazine and this is the layout published in the current issue of the magazine (issue 79):

I used the gorgeous Kaisercraft “The Looking Glass” collection of papers, stamps and acetate.

This is a close up of some of the flowers I cut from the paper, layering for a 3D effect.

I cut a large circle and punched the edge to create a large mat. I used a thin paper strip to weave through sections of the punched edge and cut circles from the patterned paper to create negative space.

I used the same punch set to make the mat for the photograph and again used paper strips to weave through some of the punched edge.

The sentiment is cut from the acetate sheet and layered with the matching frame on the patterned paper (with the centre cut out).

I hope you like my layout.

Thanks for stopping by.
