This is gonna be a short post!
Just some photo’s… and a few words.
In Holland, we’re not used to hot temperatures –
most of the time our country is cold and windy.
And in Summertime pleasant, easy-going weather,
like 24º Celsius (75 Fahrenheit)
It is 30ºC right now! (86 degrees Fahrenheit)
That is – outside it is,
at my computer it must be more….
I’m melting!
The computer is melting!
I won’t visit blogs or talk on the boards ’till this heat is over…
The forecast says it should be over this weekend.
Or at least on Monday.
Keep your fingers crossed, or I will end up as a puddle.
Anyway, I have
a tiny little bit
of energy left
to show you
my take on the
Lotus Paperie
challenge #131
which is:
“hand cut the
pattern out of
pattern paper”
You won’t see that (much) on this photo though… this photo is a detail
of my self made flower. (Remember the sneak peek?)
Here’s my complete lay out!”
I had paper with white roses on it, very romantic!
So I cut those out and glued it in the left corner.
I found an old picture of myself, and by editing that I created the atmosphere I wanted.
That was the basic, and I “build” my lay out around it.
Isn’t this the sweetest, romantic, vintage lay out?
Last week, Chris published
a tutorial about making flowers
out of ribbon, and I used that
to make mine out of lace.
I made the photo
look old by using
Photoshop,
after that I made it
look even older
using distress ink.
Embroidered circle
(cut out afterwards,
and glued again)
This is an old,
vintage picture.
I got some from
my mum a while
ago, and this one
consummates
my lay out.
OK, I showed you everything.
I’m off to sit in front of my fridge now…
“Those who are about to melt, salute you!”
Je t’embrasse!
