Mermaids this way – Layout by Jen

Hello everyone,
today I am sharing photos of my Amazing little princess Grandaughter on her Fourth birthday in January. We went to AQWA the underground aquarium in Perth to celebrate and see the Mermaids. WOW, she absolutely loved them.

I started with the Paper #2 from the 12×12 Collection pack and cut a rectangle from the middle of the paper to use as photo mats, cut the barcode strip off and distressed the edges.

I have then used the reverse of the Collection pack cover sheet with the butterflies and using a craft knife cut around some of the wings to lift up like they are flying. Then cut the paper down to 11.25 x 11.25 after cutting the barcode strip off of course and distressed the edges. When I adhered it to the dark teal background paper I added glue around the edges of the cut pieces to stop them from lifting while still being able to see the colour underneath.

I have then used Filmstrip and stitched frames in the background and layered Teal ephemera stackers pieces along with tags, tickets and Moonlit garden ephemera.

Teal mini laser cuts, Moonlit Garden laser cuts and chipboard bits are then layered and arranged in clusters. “Best of Times” was made from Moonlit Garden chipboard bits with teal paper in the background of the frame then epoxy dots added.

Moonlit Garden Sentiments rub on “Good Life” was added on the bottom of the page then Teal rub ons added around the edges with paint splatters and grid patterns. The acetate leaves and butterflies where really see through and the colour was lost so I painted white paint on the reverse of the pieces and tucked them in under the photos.
