Abi & Grace | Stuck?! Sketches December 15th DT Layout

Hi there!

I'm back to share my design team layout for the latest sketch challenge at Stuck?! Sketches! I really loved the pretty flowers and layers in this sketch! Let's take a look...

Here is my layout...

"Abi & Grace"

My layout features a cute photo of my eldest daughter Abi with my niece Grace when they were snuggling together in their dressing gowns when Grace came for a sleepover at our house.

I used patterned papers from the Amy Tangerine Finders Keepers collection.

I started my layout off by applying some modelling paste through a stencil onto my white cardstock. I love the look of white on white and the subtle texture that this adds. I then did some stamping on my background where I knew I was going to add my photo and paper layers so that it is coming out from behind the layers.

Here are some closeups so that you can see all of the details...

I tucked a doily in behind the top left hand corner of the layers and then added two flowers to the corner of the photo (both from D-lish Scraps).

I created another pretty flower cluster on the bottom right hand corner of the photo, using more flowers and a flair from D-lish Scraps.

I like adding little phrases and words strips to my layouts!

And one last closeup of the main area so that you can see all of the pretty details.

If you haven't done so already, I hope that you'll pop on over to the Stuck?! Sketches blog and take a look at the fabulous layouts that my fellow design team members have created! We hope that you might be able to find some time to play along with us during this busy month! Link up you layouts on the Stuck?! Sketches blog by December 29th to be in the running to win a prize from one of our very generous sponsors:

We will also be choosing a scrapbooker from each of our challenges to be a guest designer with us at a later date!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and taking a look at my layout! Thank you to those who leave lovely comments as well - it is very much appreciated!
