Happy Saturday scrappy friends! I have a new layout that I made for Scrapbook & Cards Today using BooVille scraps! Be sure to visit the SCT Blog to download this free Ghost for Stitching Cut File so you can scraplift this page :)
When I first received samples of my BooVille collection I grabbed one of everything and made 6 layouts for the reveal that took place on July 24th! Since then I've been trying to use that same "kit" so that if you purchased 1 of everything you can re-create everything I've been making with BooVille so far! This excludes projects for classes & events ;)
To create this page I cut the Ghost for Stitching from textured white cardstock and then loosely traced the inner part of the ghost on a scrap piece of smooth white cardstock. I punched about (4) 1" squares from each of the papers in the 6x6 paper pad along with a few mint and orange patterns from the 12x12 paper that has the patterned squares. I pieced the punched squares in slightly angled rows across the traced ghost. To add tons of texture & interest I used my sewing machine & white thread to zigzag stitch horizontally and vertically across the squares to create a patchwork/quilted look.
I was going to stitch the ghost in black or white thread, but when I brought in each of my family members to cast their vote, I went with Jane's suggestion of purple! She has an eye for design :) After backstitching with purple thread around the ghost I adhered the page on top of the quilted ghost. I hand cut a pair of eyes from black cardstock and then added my two 3x4" photos on opposite sides of the ghost. I embellished with lots of little things from BooVille such as die cuts, rub-ons, enamel shapes, puffy stickers, cardstock stickers, and chipboard stickers.
I love how this page turned out and hope you're inspired to scraplift it with my BooVille collection and Ghost for Stitching Cut File!
Have a happy scrappy weekend!
