Sweet Memories by ELAINE KING

First take the sheet with the large rectangular panels and fussy cut each of the rectangles leaving a border around the edge. I used a trimmer for this but a craft knife and ruler would work too.

Next take two Distress Oxides in Villainous Potion and Seedless Preserves and blend them with a blending brush around the edge so the entire frame is cover in the blended two colours.

Cut the Walnut Cream cardstock down to 11.5” and adhere to the inked frame.

Next take the two floral panels with the peony and the hydrangeas and cut them diagonally across the rectangles from bottom left to top right. Cut two of the reverse sides of the remaining panels and create two rectangular panels. Mount your photo on another reverse side of a panel and position the three cross the centre of the card. Ink the edges of the individual triangles to give definition against the Walnut Cream card.

Stencil some of the seedless Preserves and Villainous Potion colours using a floral stencil below the left panel and above the right hand panel.

Cut some of the film strips from the remaining pieces and position this above and below the three panels as shown.

Next fussy cut some of the hydrangeas and butterflies from the remaining pieces and use the rub ons to create a cluster above the top right section.

Create a second cluster below the bottom left section using your chipboard (I altered mine by colouring the chipboard with the same inks) and add embellishments from the kit together with more rub ons and punched butterflies. I added a title using Uniquely Creative Willow and Grace Puffy Alphas.
