Step by Step
1
Tear some strips of Whitewash cardstock in a range of colours and glue them behind your main sheet as shown.
2
Tear all the borders of a Whitewash cardstock. If you tear upwards a beautiful coloured core will appear. Don’t be too precise; it should look torn.
3
Tear a circle of Whitewash cardstock and remove the inside as shown.
4
Cut some leaves in the shape of a paisley in various colours and in various sizes. This project has added extra detail by dry embossing the leaves in a swirly pattern. Sand each leaf on top lightly so you see the beautiful colour appear. Sand the borders and decorate them with the shimmer dots.
5
Lay the leaves together so they form a sort of flower as shown.
6
Cut a mat for the photo of whitewash cardstock. dampen the borders and curl them over.
7
Sew around the edges with doubled thread, sew in a small bead every other stitch as shown.
8
Attach the circle to the paper. Glue the photomat to the page and the ‘flower’ of paisleys as shown. Doodle a swirl on top of the circle with a pencil. Sew little pearly beads to finish.
9
Add the title by cutting the letters from the back of a sheet of Whitewash cardstock to finish. You could also use Papermania Foam Alphabet Stickers to create the title.
