May 22nd Sketch - LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Hi everyone, CAROLEANNE here with you today with my version of our latest sketch Challenge.

I Love this sketch, it is quick and easy for a beginner or you can make it more advanced if you wish.

HERES HOW

So, for this layout I chose purple as I was wearing a purple dress that i bought especially for my birthday. I love yellow and purple together, added a little white and there you have a fab colour scheme.

Choose all your papers, card stock and embellishments

Matt photo in plain card stock

Cut out a large banner in co-ordinating card, distress the edges a little and adhere to a pretty paper

Lightly adhere to page

Cut out three banners one inch wide, adhere as per the sketch

Die cut half a doily and adhere

Add another piece of doily under the base of the photo for balance

Now start to decorate with assorted flowers, butterflies, beaded pins, pearls etc

Add two smaller banners in the top left corner

Decorate with flowers butterflies and a swirl

Attach the title.
