Stitch in Time

Hello again and welcome back. Today I have a share for those of you that love that vintage rustic feel. Recently my mother in law scanned a very large volume of photos from her mothers collection. So many beautiful photos that I will treasure always. 

So from this photo I have created a  Design Team layout for Fabscraps.

This paper collection is the newly released Oh! Sew Beautiful collection.

So please keep scrolling and I hope you enjoy. 

"Stitch In Time"

I have used some papers from the previous Fabscraps "Gentlemens's Collection". With these papers I cut foliage using a die. Inked the edges with a little Black Soot.

A close-up from another angle. Here, if you look closely, you can see how I have folded the second layer in the middle to wrap around the photo to make it the focal point of the layout. Below the second half to this fold on the page.

A close-up of the Fabscraps Chipboard Scissors. So very elegant. I have tucked this in under the flowers and foliage. It was dressed using Lindy's embossing powders.

I have done a lot of distressing and rolling of the papers to give that Vintage touch to this layout.

The Fabscraps Chipboard Title and Border were dressed using Liquid Pearls and a little Walnut Stain distress ink......gives that rusty look!!

3. Dress Chipboards (Title, Border have been gessoed and liberally covered with Liquid Pearls (Copper Pearl). Once dried I have inked with Walnut Stain and Black Soot distress inks. The Chipboard Scissors were dressed using Lindys embossing powder ( Queen Sheba Silver). I then cut the border into segments to give the illusion that it runs the length of the layout.

4. Cut 4 foliage segments using die of your choice. Ink the edges with Black Soot Distress Inks.
