Sorry I got a bit of glare on the photo, please ignore it |
I then mounted the photo on a piece of old gold coloured card applying over the whole I'd cut out of the bee paper. I found some pieces of paper in my scrap box which I felt coordinated well with the photos and the base paper. These scraps were torn and applied to the base of the photo I then adorned this with some roses from the Prima Flowers collection and some silk leaves I had in my crafting box.
At the top right hand corner I added a paper doilie from the Dovecraft 'Tea Party' collection. I give a slight difference in colour and to tie it to the background I added some distress ink and a spritz of gold. Over this I added the bee I had removed from the backing paper. To give the embellishment a little more presence I backed it with a torn circle in gold and another circle of old gold to match the card I had used to back my photo.
Finally I added a small title to the page and some journalling. I felt the paper was busy enough so went for a discreet title.
I love the page hope you do too.
Such a gorgeous LO!! Love how the torn strips anchor your wonderful photo!!
