Cherish

Hello on a Sunday! I have a new layout to share using Authentique papers soon to be available from Sparkle and Sprinkle and the wonderful Lifestyle Crafts flourish die they sell. This layout will go to live in their shop with Margaret soon.

Huge thank you to my friend for letting scrap their photos!

I had inspiration from two Flying Unicorn BAPs one by Denise Jensen and the other by Adrienne Ford. I also been admiring the look of repetitive photos and trailing embellishments for some time.

My papers are Autentique Cherish One and Two with a Title from their Enhancements page. I started with gesso on my background and misted with Route 66 Glimmer mist, Rosey Plain Jane Sheer and Lindy's Stamp Gang Primrose Gold. I then used a floral stamp with Distress Inks Pumice. For my swirls I sprayed the die cut in Primrose Gold and Rosey Plain Jane then inked with Pumice Distress ink. The darker swirls are Victorian Velvet and Pumice Inks. I then cut the 11" die to arrange the parts.
The chipboard hearts are covered in gesso and Lavender Iris Glitter. The photos don't do the glitter justice - the glints of lavender in the white is just magical. Once dry, I brushed on Golden Soft Gel for gloss and Pumice Distress inks on the edge. The swirl chip board is from WOW Belle Flourish. I embossed with Gilded Ivory and Sweetheart. The pink roses are Prima Avon Rose Pixie Glen. The White flowers are misted in Cosmos Glimmer Mist and Route 66 and are Prima Soprano White. My leaves are Spellbinders Foliage and Rose Creations. I misted them in Lindys Freaky Franken Lime and Gossamer Gold. I then brushed the leaves, swirls and Soprano flowers with glass bead gel for texture and shine. Some close ups:
