Buzzing

Yet another page using some of the papers I got whilst at 'A Maze of Memories'. I absolutely loved this paper when I saw it and not just because it was great to use for a picture of my daughter who we call Bee or Bry as a short form of her name. 

Sorry I got a bit of glare on the photo, please ignore it  

For this page I used a backing paper of plain manila coloured coloured card over which I placed the sheet of shaped bee covered, glitter encrusted card that I got from 'A Maze of Memories'. However, before I applied it to the base sheet I craftily cut out the centre so I could use the bee that was in the centre as a final embellishment.

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.
