Card sketch Scrap page

I really like the sketch this month at Craft Project Central, however I used the sketch to create a scrap page instead of a pretty card.  This page also features my first attempt at making the paper  medallion “lollies” that are featured everywhere on the net at the moment.

My gorgeous granddaughter was flower girl for my niece recently and in this photo she is showing off the ring she got specially for the day and of course her nail polish.  She is a very girly girl.

I started with 12″ x 12″ Whisper White textured card stock and sponged on some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.  I wanted it to be sparkly but subtle.  I made my medallions using Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry Designer paper from the Brights Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack.  These can be a little time consuming and you do need to use a couple of hands to get everything together but I think they are just gorgeous.  I’m sure to be making more of these.  I decorated the “lollies” with scallops and circles punched from matching card stock.  My buttons are from the Brights Designer Buttons and I have tied Whisper White 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon through the holes.

I used the same Designer paper to add the layers behind the photo and punched the long edges of the Pacific Point Designer Paper using the Scallop Trim Border punch.  I also wrapped this section with some of the gorgeous Whisper White 5/8″ Organza Ribbon and tied a knot.  My daughter Sarah took this photo and she had already “photoshopped” it for me so it was just a matter of printing it out.

I’m not sure if you can see the sparkle in the close up of the Whisper White card stock but it really does have a lovely shimmer to it.

I am really happy with this page, simple but lovely.  Let me know what you think.

Bye for now, Kris.
