Let's Get Shabby #19


I think this is one of the most minimal layouts I have ever done! Usually I pile on the papers and embellishments but I think this is definitely a case of less is more!!
First I sprayed antique linen distress ink mixed with water and some perfect pearls over an arched window stencil.
I printed off the music paper (a free download from Craft Stamper Magazine) and stamped and embossed gold swirls. The large flourish at the bottom of the photo was cut using my cricut machine.
Last December I won Fairycut software which is used with the cricut, but you don't need cartridges you can make your own designs. I used this software to make a rhinestone swirly template and used it with liquid pearls to make a design on the right hand side of the photo. (It looks very pretty but doesn't show up that well in the photo.
I am entering this layout into the Let's Get Shabby challenge - visit their blog - they have such beautiful and stunning designs.
