Life is Beautiful Layout - Peaceful Peonies

Hi there everyone and welcome back today I have created a layout using the Brand New Peaceful Peonies collection from Couture Creations.


Using dies, 12 x 12 papers from the collection - I created a very quick and easy to do layout - adding some flowers from my craft room stash  I found another box of goodies !! )

Live a Beautiful Life layout by Adriana Bolzon





Step 1 - Gently tear 12 x 12 paper CO727355 roughly half way and then
turn the right hand side of paper to the other reverse side.





Step 2 - Ink the edges on both sides and adhere to a 12 x 12 smooth white card stock.
Using Couture Creations embossing paste - apply through stencil - sprinkle some silver glitter on top and heat through with heat gun.

Randomly stamp over the papers with the Cursive Mini Stamp CO727407 with brown ink pad



Step 3 - Cut several leaves from the Reverses side of Peaceful Peonies paper CO727357 with mini Leafy Branch die CO727388
Cut several Tall Branches Cutting mini die CO727392 and ULT200021 Caloden card stock.

Cover chipboard with Olive Green Essential Pigment ink pad
Pull out Ephemera pieces as shown in photograph.




Step 4 - Add photograph in centre of page and add ephemera pieces as shown.




Step 5- Arrange and glue down chipboard , leaves and flowers.



Step 6 - add butterfly and the words -LOVE YOU - from the Peaceful Peonies ephemera pack.
