"Memories' By Di Garling


 Hello 2 Crafty fans. I hope you have all had a great week. Today it is my turn to share  a layout with you.   A friend of mines daughter got married recently & she has given me some beautiful Wedding pics & I wanted to do something special as I think Wedding photos deserve a "special" page to showcase them, & what better piece of chipboard could I use to do that job than this gorgeous 
2 Crafty  "Albert Square Frame" & lots of  Green Tara flowers,  ribbon & Crystal Flower Sprays.
 I do so love this chipboard frame, it really creates a statement. Here I have given it a treatment of "Impasto" medium which I simply just blobbed on roughly with my finger to create this lovely lumpy bumpy texture.


When dry I simply painted it with white acrylic paint & gave it a spray with Pearl Glimmermist to give it a bit of pearlescent shimmer. Next on this layout I have used a little 2 Crafty Mini word "Memories". I felt with everything else on this layout, one of these mini words were just the perfect size
.

Lastly I have used yet another 2 Crafty chippie, the  "Butterfly Frames". I love these particular butterflies, they are so fine & delicate. On both this butterfly & the mini word, I have also used some more Impasto Medium to give them both some texture & then just finished them off with a Bronze Metallic Paint. I then applied a  small amount  of a Bronze Stickles to the Butterfly, just to add some  sparkle.
Well thats all for today, I hope I have inspired you to perhaps scrap some of the many beautiful Wedding photos that I am sure you have tucked away in a drawer.
Until next time.
Cheers Di  xo
