As soon as I saw this “Green
Toile” paper from Meg’s Garden I knew it would be perfect for this photo of my
grandson that I took in a small Japanese garden at one of the parks where they
live. I felt that the dark pink flowers in the photo brought out the bits of
pink in the paper. I was telling my grandson he looked like a movie star trying
to hide out from his fans with the sun glasses he was wearing…hence the title
for this layout.
I love doing fussy cutting
on my layouts and these beautiful papers just scream “fussy cutting” to me. So
I cut out the matching flowers from the 4” x 12” strip to pop up with foam down
on the matching flowers on the right side of the paper. To frame my photo I
took one of the pretty square doily papers (bond25) that Meg has and cut two of
the laced corners off and then laid them together to make a square diamond
shape and then placed my photo down on top.
For my flower cluster I used
the 3 layer white Gardenia’s and the pink/cream open paper roses from Meg’s
Garden. I decided to try to mimic the
white flowers in the paper and using some of my yellow scrapping chalk I used a
q-tip and colored the center and stamens of the white gardenias yellow. The
tiny pink and yellow rosebuds I made – you can find the tutorial to make the
rosebuds on my blog here: http://scrappers-heavencanada.blogspot.ca/2012/10/rosebud-tutorial.html
