Step by Step
1
Trim the leafy paper to a curve and apply at the bottom of a 12x12 sheet of white cardstock – you will need two sections to cover the whole width, but the join can be hidden behind the photo later so position the join on the left hand side.
2
Apply two glitter cardstock sticker borders at the bottom of the page, overlapping each other.
3
Cut three tag shapes each measuring 4.5cm wide from patterned paper Ink the edges and add an eyelot to each. Glue to the reverse of a photograph so when turned over they will protrude from the right hand side. Glue the photo in place as shown and use 3D foam pads under the tags to lift them slightly.
4
Apply a selection of topiary bushes and mini plants from the Cardstock sticker and decoupage packs, along the length of the leafy paper section as shown.
5
Cut two large (approximately 5cm across) and two smaller (3cm) paper circles. Snip into the centre of the two large circles and shape to make a slight dish shape. Flatten the bottom and position to the bottom left corner of the photo. Add the smaller circles in the centre using 3D foam pads and finish with cardstock sticker circles.
6
Cut 6 isosceles triangles from patterned paper to measure about 4.5cm by 6cm. Ink the edges and arrange across the page as bunting. Glue the top of each triangle in place and add a 3D foam dot at the bottom of each triangle to lift them. Draw the bunting string as shown using a pen.
7
Add your title above the bunting using cardstock alphabet sticker, adding a bird sticker to the right hand side.
8
Add journalling onto the journalling block stick and add to your page to complete.
