Hello, today I would like to share with you, a LO I did, combining Maja Design’s Vintage Romance with A Gift for You Collection…..

Other Elements used: 49 and Market: Vintage Shades-Orchid Bouquet, Vintage Shades-Orchid Blossoms, Garden Bloom-Pale Lavender, Garden Vine-Pale Lavender,….Dusty Attic Chipboard: Ornate Circle Frames, Ornate Frame #7, Vine Frames #2, Leaves #3, Vine Border, Postage Stamps, Love Heart Corners, Live Beautifully, Quoted Sentiments #1, Wordpl@y #4

Here are some close ups…

For the background, I trimmed the outside edges, of the Bride & Groom sheet, so the bottom mat, wrapped in old newspaper-BS, would show. I also cut slits, & distressed those, & glued wrapped in old newspaper under the slits….

I primed all of the chipboard, with clear gesso, then applied clear crackle on to some of the pieces. Once the crackle had dried, I painted the pieces, with Shimmerz Inklings-Chocolate & Diamonds, for the brown, Mochachino for the lavender brown, greener pastures for the green, & toned down or blended the colors with sheer bliss. I also inked the edges using the pinecone ink pad….

In the flower clusters I used DA leaves & grape vine, 49 and Market Vintage Shades-Orchid, & Garden Blooms & Vine-Lavender,& IamRoses S15

I tore pieces from the Bride & Groom sheet & the Love Poetry sheet & framed it with the Ornate Frame…

I glued She’s my Lady-BS, under the larger Ornate Circle Frame….

& pieces from the Love Poetry sheet under the Love Heart Corners…

Framed the cut out with a postage stamp…Here are some more close ups……

This is a LO I did using the Enjoying Outdoors, Having tea in the sun & the BS of this sheet….

Thank you so much for taking the time to look….Rachelle
