Sweet Kit 26 by Gillian Lester (coming soon)

Here's a retro vintage style kit. 

You will also need:
- 4x6 photo
- alphas
- Kindy Glitz
- Liquid Pearls, if desired
- Corner punch

*Some items and colours in kits will vary.


Steps
  1. Cut "little girl"out of the "Bubblegum" paper and put aside.
  2. Cover button and set aside (see step-by-step photos at end of this blog).
  3. Cut a 4 inch strip out of the striped paper. Distress edges and stick to background paper "Jawbreakers".
  4. Cut "Wax Bottle"paper 25cm x 21cm and round corners with punch. Distress and adhere to right side of layout (see photos).
  5. Cut "Bubblegum"paper 18cm x 25cm and round corners. Distress and attach (see photos).
  6. Punch corners off photo and attach to pink spotty paper, leaving a 1cm border around photo. Punch corners and distress.
  7. Place doily under mounted photo and attach to centre of layout (see photos).
  8. Place little girl to right of photo.
  9. Place the brown doily sticker to the left of photo. Use mounting tape to attach the blue doily over the top (see photos).
  10. Attach crochet flower and then the button. Place pin behind and to the side of flower.
  11. Ink or paint the heart bunting.  While still wet, peel up some of the chipboard and ink exposed chipboard to create a worn look. Colour the bunting string in a darker shade (I used grey).
  12. Using the leftover "Wax Bottle"paper, adhere the "shakes and malts"sticker down, trim around and distress edges. Use mounting tape and adhere (see photos).
  13. Cut heart bunting into two parts, one with 3 hearts and the other with 6 hearts. Place either side of mounted sticker and attach with mounting tape.
  14. Add journalling tag near the bottom and add desired title. 
  15. To finish off, use Kindy Glitz and Liquid Pearls where desired.
