Happy Sunday to all of you ....

Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day with your loved ones!
Today I prepared another layout for you using New Sizzix dies and a
"touch" of old ones ....a perfect combination :-)
This photo of my son was taken last Summer on his 11th birthday -
a day certainly worth remembering :-) and treasuring on the wall.

To give more dimension and "glam" to the letters from my title I
added "Dimensional Magic". To be sure the letters won't wrinkle and
to make them flat I die cut each letter three times.
Then I adhered each letter on top of each other - it makes them now stable.
Subsequently I added the three dimensional accent.
N.B. I used the exclamation mark as a "body" for the dragonfly.
It took 3 hours for the letters to dry!
But once dry the result is simply amazing.
As a final touch I distressed the letters with ink.
The Bookplate was die cut from corrugated cardboard and dark brown pattern paper.
When I adhered the pattern paper on top of the corrugated cardboard I distressed the
pattern paper with sanding paper. As a result you get "white" spots -
these white spots I painted with blue paint.
I did almost the same with the die cut pattern paper matting the photo.
First I die cut the paper by using one of the NEW Mixed Media dies.
Then I painted the edges with gesso and once drie I painted with blue paint.
I used this flower shape to decorate my embellishments.
I hope you enjoyed my project today!
Have a creative Sunday!
