Siblings Forever (Whether they like it or not) :)

Have you ever thought about making a layout on something other than a traditional piece of cardstock or patterned paper? I have and today I'm going to show you a layout that I made on a calendar sheet from Urban Lily. Sometimes a little change is nice. :)



The calendar sheet started out black and white so I added plenty of bright colored patterned papers from Urban Lily and lots of great Cheery Lynn Designs dies. The contrast really makes my die cut elements pop.



To make this cluster of orange flowers I used the Pretty Petal die. It's easy to make them look more realistic. I simply pinched each petal with my thumb's fingernail and adhered them onto my page near the colored wire. Each center has a dab of glitter glue.



For the fence, I ran it through my Big Shot with the Burlap embossing plate. I sanded down the cardstock just a little so you could make out the details. I also added a horizontal strip of the same paper over the fence which I pulled from the Wittle Wicker die. After all, the cute little red bird needs a place to perch. :)

Sketch 127 with Urban Lily

Today I wanted to share my take of Sketch 127 using this bright, funky collection called MayElla from Urban Lily.

On Monday a local craft store was having a 4th of July sale and everything was 50% off. There was a sharp pair of scissors I have been eyeing for a while so this was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the sale. I love fussy cutting and Urban Lily papers are PERFECT for that! Urban Lily has bold, large prints such as flowers that are screaming to be cut. :)
