live for the moment {MERLY IMPRESSIONS & KAISERCRAFT}

hello crafty friends! 

it is the end of AUGUST {where did the summer go, right?} and it is time for my latest post MERLY IMPRESSIONS. for today i’ve prepared a pink and girly layout using the amazing KAISERCRAFT's FLY FREE collection {available at the MERLY IMPRESSIONS online store}. 

"LIVE FOR THE MOMENT"



my layout is inspired by KAISERCRAFT august sketch challenge:


to create my background i used PARTNER pattern paper, which i altered with GESSO and KAISERMIST spray ink ANTIQUE GOLD


to mat my picture i used a slightly bigger dark brown rectangle made of KAISERCARD coffee bean weave cardstock. for the layers under the picture i used different colours pattern papers from the mini PAPER PAD. i ruffled their edges with PAPER DISTRESSER and adhered them with MOUNTING FOAM TAPE


to decorate my picture further i used die cuts from the PAPER PAD and the COLLECTABLES pack and fussy cut butterflies and birds from the BOND gloss paper.




i even added a little pink butterfly in my niece hair, because she is so cute and pink :-)


and a lot more butterflies and RHINESTONES silver to my background. i slightly embossed the butterflies and adhered them with MOUNTING FOAM TAPE.


to finish off my design i added die cut blossoms and a few paper flowers – paper blooms HOT PINK and mini paper blooms – COCONUT.


i hope you enjoyed today’s post!

have an amazingly creative and a very happy week!

hugs 'n smiles,
