Lift This Page!

It's been a while since I've done this feature on the ol' blog, so thought I'd update with a page today.  This is a pretty simple page to create, and you get to play with both paint & ink!  It was featured in a tutorial on the JBS Inspiration blog, so if you want more details & step-by-step photos, you can check it out there as well.  Here's the basics:

This Girl  |  supplies:  Bazzill cardstock in kraft & white + Jenni Bowlin paints (Cough Syrup, Chewing Gum, Lemon Drops, Seed Packet, Soap Powder, Chicken Feed) + Jenni Bowlin inks (Cough Syrup, Chewing Gum, Lemon Drops, Seed Packet, Soap Powder, Chicken Feed) + butterfly stamp (Studio Calico) + buttons + stick pins + border punch + JBS letter stickers

1. Select a photo with a large amount of white space on the right that can be overlapped with embellishments. Print photo approx. 10" x 7".

2.  Use paint dabbers to color each of the 6 paint colors on white cardstock, covering roughly a 3" area. When dry, use a circle cutter or punch to make 2.5" circles.

3.  Stamp butterflies in matching ink colors on white cardstock.  The Studio Calico butterfly stamp I used is no longer available, but here's a cute alternative by Jillibean Soup.  Trim out butterfly shapes.

4. Adorn butterflies with buttons and/or stick pins.  Adhere butterflies to painted circles using foam adhesive.

5.  Print journaling on white cardstock & cut into strips.  Adhere to circles.

6.  Create title with Silhouette (I used the font Doris Day for the word "this") and Jenni Bowlin stickers.  Color in the stickers with a red pen.

7.  Add scalloped border punched from white cardstock and date stamp as final touches.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
