How To Make a Layout with Hand Painted Pansies

This layout with hand painted pansies celebrates one of the many trips we took when my girls were little.While living in Europe we explored the beautiful country of Croatia. These photos were taken in the Roman arena in the coastal city of Pula. My oldest daughter wandered from tier to tier picking flowers (cvijeće) and making dandelion bouquets.

~ Cvijeće ~

Directions:

 Step 1: Place stencil in upper right corner and spread 3D Glossy Gel over it. Sprinkle with White embossing powder, heat to set. Repeat for lower left corner.

 Step 2: Fussy cut 8x8 Bohemian Romance: Live Freely paper into four sections. Draw a horizontal line 3.5" down from the top. Evenly space the fussy cut images across it, adhere.

 Step 3: Paint the 8x8 Bohemian Romance: BoHo Dreams paper with Glimmer Glam.

 Step 4: Fussy cut BoHo Dreams into flower sections and place over gaps on horizontal line. Reserve remaining flowers and leaves for later use.

 Step 5: Layer trim and lace over horizontal line, adhere.

 Step 6: Place photos then slip Architextures Findings: Garden Stakes behind them. Align Architextures Findings: Iron Fence with trim.

 Step 7: Die cut and assemble flowers from 8x8 Bohemian Romance pink, handmade paper.

I used two sizes of three-petal die. I painted the flower center and then the petal tips. I pinched each petal between my fingers and thumb to give them shape. I glued and stacked the flowers then added a dot of yellow Stickles in the middle.

 Step 8: Adhere Painted Pansies around the photos, adding leaves reserved from the BoHo Dreams page.

 Step 9: Place title over trim and iron fence.
Because my title is in Croatian, I added the same word under the main photo in English.

Craft On!
