Once Upon A Lifetime Layout with Katherine

Hello BoBunny fans! Katherine here with a new vintage page using Once Upon a Lifetime, complete with a bit of inkiness and stenciling.

I used the Fanciful Stencil and some white gesso to create my base on the brick wall paper called Tradition, and then added some green,orange and brown watercolours over the top.  I then added some stamping in brown using the Take Note stamps.  Once I was happy with my background I went to work on the papers and embellishments.  I used a mix of papers from the 6" paper pad, and also created some corners for my photo from the corners of the Congratulations card die set.

Here you can see the layers of gesso and then watercolour with a little bit of the brown stamping to add to the distressed look and pull out the colours in the papers.

I layered up the rose from the Natural Earth Dahlia collection, teaming it with some laser cut chipboard and also one of the beautiful glittered chipboard pieces.  I created leaves for my rose from the clover Zinnia collection

My title is from one of the stickers and I layered up some lace from the Natural Earth collection and teamed it with a jewel swirl in Chocolate.

I hope it's inspired you to dig out some of your vintage photos or even more modern day ones, I am writing notes with mine to keep my family history safely stored.
