Beautiful and Sweet Girl 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovelies.

Today I am back again with another 8x8 layout I made using a bunch of my favorite dies. Yeah I am back making layouts again ;-) Oh and I used the uber pretty "Gilded Lily' collection by Graphic 45. This collection makes me think of my grandmother every time, because she was such a fan of Princess Sisi and since I can remember she was watching those movies over and over again. I found a picture of such a pretty girl on Pinterest that I had to use and it's a perfect combination with that collection.

Beautiful and Sweet Girl:

The flowers were cut out multiple times. Then I whetted them with a little water and squeezed them to give them a wrinkly look {kind of shabby chic}. For the center of my bigger flowers I used some Graphic 45 brads. Also on the upper right flower cluster I used a metal key of that same manufacturer and also one of the CABD-90 - Keys!

To make the words pop a little more on my background, I used some green card stock! I cut out the words to later on cut them out again with the patterned paper. Then I placed them on top of each other slightly moved about two millimeters.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:

B436 - Tea Rose Medium

B434 - Sweet Christine

This is one of the layouts I will use to enter the Graphic 45 Design Team Call this year,

wish me luck!
