Hello friends, it’s Kelly Daye here sharing a new layout made with Paige’s Roses and Stamps from the 14 Valentine Cut Files along with her Garden Shoppe, Splendid, and Horizon collections.
To start, I made a simple oval frame in Silhouette Studio and copied it three times, overlaid all three, and welded the ovals together to make an oval wreath. Then I made an off-set of the Roses and welded that to the lower right corner of the wreath. The Roses were cut out of white cardstock and paper-backed with a variety of patterned papers from three of Paige’s collections:
Once paper backed, I back stitched the roses and leaves with 3 strands of DMC Floss. I only used 3 strands so that I could use a very fine needle. I just love mixing thread colors on paper. I also chain stitched the wreath then popped up the finished Roses with 3D foam on top of it. My photo is framed with one of the Stamp cut files in the 14 Valentine Cut Files. I love the texture the deckled edge added to the layout. Once sized for my photo, I did an internal offset of the cut file so that I could layer two colors together under my photo. More color + more pattern = more interest, don't you think?! My background is made with one part of Paige’s Layered Plaid Background cut file. I cut it out of Garden Shoppe Paper 24 and laid it over another sheet of white cardstock. To add extra texture, I added some colorful cross-stitching here and there. Finally, I embellished with lots of pretty Garden Shoppe goodies including Floral Die Cuts, Foam Phrase Stickers, Cardstock Stickers, Butterfly Stickers, Ephemera Die Cuts, and Enamel Button Stickers.
Thank you so much for your visit! I hope you are inspired to use Paige's Roses and Stamps from the 14 Valentine Cut Files along with her Garden Shoppe, Splendid, and Horizon collections!
