Description:
First, I created the center piece. I cut out approximately 26 flowers out of a background paper AG030 (Anna Griffin) .In order to use them I cut them in half. After adding the 4 inch metal ring around the photo I started to build the flower layers. The first layer was around that metal ring. When done, I took the next layer of flowers and put 3 dimensional foam squares , on the inner most part, and attached them to the first layer. I did the same for the third layer. I added foam squares to the last layer and attached them. I attached the entire piece to the 7 ½ x 7 ½ crème background paper. Then I attached all of that to an 8 ½ x 8 ½ piece of (Anna Griffin) AG301 paper. To decorate the outside of that paper, I took a floral border punch and some left over scrap paper and used the small flowers that it punched out when using it. The next step was to add the butterfly. It’s a cloth butterfly. Lastly, I created the journaling with a journaling template and a light box. I dry embossed it. I then wrote in the journaling in a gold pen. It reads “1941 My grandmother took a trip to Minnesota to visit her sister Katie. She grew up there. My grandmother was 1 out of 12 children.” I added a copper brad at the top. It can be hidden between the 2 background papers, as seen in the layout.
