courageous {MERLY IMPRESSIONS & KAISERCRAFT}

hello crafty peeps!

i would like to share a layout i created for MERLY IMPRESSIONS.CO.UK, featuring KAISERCRAFT game on! collection -

"COURAGEOUS" 

i really like this collection! though the papers are designed for a specific sport, you can mix-match them and create your own set for any type of adventure! 

i started with kaisercard coconut weave cardstock, which i cut to 29 x 29 cm. then i sprayed the middle part of my cardstock with DYLUSIONS ink sprays – lemon zest and melted chocolate. when the ink had dried, i added the stamped pattern at the edges using KAISERCRAFT film edges clear stamp with black ink and lattice clear stamp with TIM HOLTZ mini distress ink pads – salty ocean. to finish off my background design, i hand stitched the black frame and sprinkled some blue and brown DYLUSIONS ink sprays on top of it. 

when i was satisfied with the result, i adhered the already altered coconut weave cardstock onto KAISERCRAFT game on! – player pattern paper.

the coloured rub ons borders are from the TECHNOLOGIC collection.

 to give more dimension to my layout i added two layers under my picture – i used team mate and player patter papers. i distressed their edges using TIM HOLTZ paper distresser tool.

the paper die cuts and embellishments are from the COLLECTABLES packages matching the collection – equipment and awards.

for the journalling spot and some of the paper stripes, i used GAME ON attitude pattern paper.

the rest of the embellishments – banners, quotes – are from the sticker sheets – aussie rules and soccer sticker sheets.

 to finish off my design i added black lace and black rhinestones and some more of the coloured rub-ons from the TECHNOLOGIC collection.

i hope you enjoyed today’s post!

have a lovely week!
