I trimmed the specialty paper down to add patterned paper behind to add more colour 

I was thinking I wanted to use pendant shape layering under my photo layers 

So after doing my background and waiting for it to dry

I started cutting out my pendant shapes and then I machine stitched all around the edges 

Then I cut some smaller bits of patterned papers to go behind my photo 

Then I added my background to the patterned paper and machine stitched around the edge 

Then I started glueing my layers together and add my photo than added some die cuts from the collectables 

To add more texture and dimension I stamped on vellum 

and embossed it with white zing embossing powder and tucked it in my die cuts 

I used a die cut for my title and added some more embossing and diecuts
