Emma & Mama Page
Background: Use the pink/purple patterned sheet for the background. Glue 12" x 7" of multi-stripe paper across the page 2" from the bottom. Glue 12"x4" of blue/green watercolor paper across the middle.
Photos: Take the Colorist image with the dotted frame and carefully cut out around the curvy frame. Take your craft sheet or acrylic block and scribble onto it with the chisel tip of the Heather marker. Take the water brush and fill it with water. Get the water flowing from the brush tip (practice on paper towel), then pick up some color from your palette. Start painting in the color on some of the flowers moving from the center outward on the petals. You can water down your brush for lighter shades and pick up more color for darker shades. Rinse the brush in a cup of water before switching colors. The colors I used are: Heather, Begonia, Leaf Green, and Bud Green. Once you've colored everything in, do the same on the Colorist image with the large bunch of flowers. Cut out around the flowers, leaving a 1/16” border around the image. Cut a photo to 5 1/2"x4 1/2". Glue the dot frame over the photo. Glue to the page 3 1/4" from the left and bottom. Mat a 2 3/4"x3 1/2" photo on black cardstock with a 1/16" border. Glue it to the center of the floral pattern piece. Mat on white cardstock with a 1/16" border. Glue to page 3/4" from the top and 1/2" from the left.
Journaling & Embellishments: Color in a couple labels from the tags and labels. Write small captions in the centers. Glue one to the bottom left corner of the large photo and glue the other overlapping the top right of the same photo. Glue a knot of pink grosgrain ribbon to the right of the lower label. Cut the large floral arrangement in half and glue one piece above the multi-stripe piece 1" from the right. Glue the other piece below the multi-stripe piece 2 1/4" from the right. Tie a knot near the end of about 10" of pink grosgrain ribbon and cut the end in a “V.” Glue the ribbon along the top right of the multi-stripe piece as shown. Glue narrow teal grosgrain ribbon along the bottom of the multi-stripe piece as shown. Trim excess.
