Instructions: This project is a 30 cm x 30 cm Layout, the photo size used 11 cm x 7.8 cm. From the Paper Collection, you will need the following papers: Paisely print, Feather print, Iron print. Starting with the Iron print cut 3 banner flags at 17 cm x 3.2 cm, 17 cm x 2 cm, 17 cm x 1 cm. Cut all ends in a V shape. Stamp using gold embossing powder the strips with Iron lace images found in All Seasons Gazebo and Summer Season stamp sets. Gold emboss also the edges by applying the Versamark along the edges, running the edges through the powder then setting with the heat gun. Repeat if needed. Cut these banners in 1/2. Put aside.

For the photo matting the feathered print is used. Cut this to 10 cm x 15 cm. Use the same method as above to get the gold edging. For the Layout back ground the Paisley print is used. 

To start, using the black gesso and a old credit card, apply the gesso in small amounts, adding more as needed. Starting from the center and work out to the left and right side. Leave to air dry. 

Using the butterfly mask, apply the gesso and glitter medium along the right edge and bottom left edge of the layout. 

To make the gold and masked background: Take the branch mask and glitter medium, apply this to the right top and left bottom of the photo matting placement. Take the Iron lace stamps and gold embossing powder, stamp the image in the length. Not too fussy as some will be covered later. The flower bud and leave image is from the Feathered Daisy Cling Stamp Set. Apply a little Versamark to some of the tops of the butterflies, sprinkle embossing powder then seal with the heat gun. Adhere the banner flags in their place. With gold thread, back stitch the lines. 

Make a mix of beads and medium, apply to the Layout page. Back the matting paper with cardboard. Cut the cardboard at least 2 cm smaller than the photo. Using 2 layers of cardboard, do the same for the photo. Adhere all together to the Layout. 

For the leaves and flowers: The leaves are gold embossed on Vellum Paper using the Delightful Daises Cling Stamp Set and the matching die Delightful Daises 4 x smaller size. The flowers are made using the images found in the same die and stamp set. Stamp embossed with bridal glitter 4 x. Shape the flowers useing the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Apply black Pan Pastel to the center of the flower. Adhere the two sizes together. Prick a whole in the center for the steymans. Fold the steyman in 1/2 and thread it through the whole. Apply glue to hold it in place. 

Adhere in clusters on the photo corners. Tuck the leaves behind the flowers. To finish add the sentiment, you will find this in the paper pad. Use the matching die set to make a perfect die cut.
