{Live in this moment...}

Hello everyone!

Here is another layout featuring the absolutely beautiful Vintage Artistry Blush collection and I am using another wedding photo of my beautiful daughter.

For this layout I used the right side of the Poised Paper and glued the paper to white card stock and primed it with clear gesso. I then added a script stamp and butterflies from the Gratitude Today Stamp set. Where the two papers join in the center, I added Vintage Artistry Sage washi tape. I then added colour to the background using Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick and Bundled Sage.

The Blush/Sage rub-on transfers are just amazing. Here you can see where I added them. I cut up the flower transfer and used it under my flower clusters. I also used some of the script, beads, sequins and splatter transfers.

I layered my matted photo on pieces from the Blush and Sage Ephemera stacks. All the edges were distressed and inked.

I have built up my flower clusters using flowers, die cut foliage and laser cuts from the two beautiful laser-cut sheets that is included in the Vintage Artistry Blush collection. For the flowers I used Sugar Posies in Fluff and Tutti Fruitti, Enchanted Petals in Mint, Maura's Vineyard in Rose, Enchanted Petals in Ballet Slipper, Mini Flowers in Scarlet and Sugar Stems in Fluff. I painted the Sugar Posies Fluff in a dark acrylic paint. These little white flowers are perfect if you need another colour, and take the paint very well. The edges of all the flowers were dry brushed with white gesso, then acrylic paint and lightly rub with gold rub and Platinum distress stickles.

The title of my layout "Live in this moment..." is a digital stamp also designed by Katie Pertiet. She is an amazing designer! Here is the link to her online shop. Katie Pertiet.

I love the look of a heat embossed image with white embossing powder on vellum. It adds such a lovely soft feel and look elegant in the flower clusters. I used the butterfly image on the Gratitude Today stamp set also design by Katie Pertiet.
