Happy Father's Day!!
Not Only A Dad But A Best Friend Too
It's the title of my scrapbook page but a true statement as well. I love that I can see many similarities in my husband and daughter and that they have that special bond.
My layout features Petaloo's gorgeous Darjeeling Collection. This collection contains many different types of flowers and colors. These flowers are so pretty. Since they are made with 100% Scrap & Recycled T-shirt material they feel soft and crumpled. They are perfect for your vintage and shabby chic projects. For this project I paired them with a few papers and embellishments from Authentique's Genuine collection. I also rubbed some Stickles Stardust glue on them for some shine.
Here are a couple up close pictures of the flower bunches. When placing flowers on my layout I always start with the largest flower first. Then I start building, using smaller flowers and different colors. I also try to pick out a flower in a contrasting color. Finally I tuck in leaves here and there and maybe some accents like the mesh and glass ornament pins. I use small glue dots just to keep them in place until I am sure that it all looks right.
After I have all of the flowers where I want them, I will go back with some Ranger's Glossy Accents, gently lift the some of the petals on the flowers, and squirt glue underneath each flower. That way they will stay permanently in place and I won't have to worry about them falling off inside my albums page protectors.
Here are the Petaloo flowers that I used on my layout.
Wonderful layout! Love how all of the colors coordinate, the flower placement, and such a sweet concept. Thanks for sharing.
