Couture Creations 2015 Design Team Audition

by Anita Bownds - 12:01 PM

hi..

i was super excited to see the design team call up on the couture creations

blog i absolutely love their dies and embossing folders

so I'm starting off with this mini album tutorial first and Ive used a doily die that I've had for awhile now that I absolutely adore

here are close up pics of my mini album I used a normal paper doily on the cover

And I used my silhouette cameo to cut out some leaves I designed I go behind my big rose

My first page I wanted it to have that title page look as I like that embellished look of layered paper

And with the second page I've added a beautiful picture of my daughter Kara

And as I was creating I thought wow I wonder what baking paper would look like if I die cut it and used it like velum well I loved so much I added it throughout my mini album

It adds that laced look of velum and a touch of beauty

Another picture of my daughter Kara

I had a blast creating this mini album

ive used a couture creations embossing folder on this card

I love the added texture

I love how you can use All of the paper even the left over bit from die cutting a couture creation doily

And I'm a big fan of making my own flowers using flower dies this one is a sizzix die

As you probably can tell I love this doily die I've used it on my layout but die cutting using matching patterned paper from the same collection

And I was really lovin the soft colours of this collection of papers I designed a flower and leaves to complement the layout

With this layout I used an embossing folder from crate paper from their open book collection

As I loved the flower texture that sweet girly look well absolutely had to try that mittens trend that was happening at Christmas time

Next project is a clock that stoped working and straight away I just wanted to pull it apart and make something I started by using gesso and painted it then when it was dry I stamped a scriped stamp with brown ink
