Ok, so I actually did this page a few weeks ago, but nothing I made tonight was *fabulous* enough to go on the blog so you get this one instead. Don’t judge me. 🙂
This page was so much fun! I used this awesome line by Echo Park. Dude. Where have they been all of my life. I am loving all of their lines.
I matted the focal point photo and then added this extra strip of paper. I added a bit of bling to it. 🙂
When I had my photos printed, I had them add a white border which I love. It does pose a challenge when I want to crop a photo though. I stitched on some rick rack to hide the lack of a white border. Then I added some horizontal rick rack to help balance the page. That and I have an ongoing love affair with rick rack.
While I loved the butterfly paper, the butterflies overlap in such a way that you cannot cut strips of them. It was really making me angry until I decided to just cut them out individually. I added a tiny bit of glue in the middle only so that their wings pop up a bit and they look more three dimensional.
Here’s the finished page! I’m actually really pleased with the way it turned out.
