The Scrapbook Garden - Gypsy Girl

This is my first layout for the Scrapbook Garden for this design kit.

The picture is my Mams cousin Amalia Augusta Douglas .

It was taken at one of her performances while she was on stage.

She doesnt look very old here , I dont know the date but I presume it

must have been early on in her stage performances.

Firstly take a look at these fab papers you can find them here

they are gorgeous and Ive been so pleased to have been working with them .

I chose some chipboard shapes from my stash amd covered them with one of the papers from the pack.

Next I cut out the title and inked it fown using some Vintage

Distress Inks

Using some of the distress inks I used this rubber stamp.

You can find it here with some others

It gave a great clear image which i was really pleased with.

Once I had my chipboard pieces covered I decided

on how I was going to use the 6 x 6 patturned paper.

I used the American crafts cardstock in Coffee

This was a great contrast to the beautiful colourful paper.

After cutting my 6 x 6 and laying out the design

in the corners of the 12 x 12 I added some torn

Sheet music and a chipboard tag from my

stash with I used some distress ink and the

Tando Creative Musical  mask to ink it down ,

carrying on the musical theme as she is holding

a tamborine in her hand.

I added my title

And then the stamped flower discs

and a little few punched musical notes and my

journaling

And thats it, my Gypsy Girl page. Im pleased with it and Im sure Amalia would be pleased with
it too were she still with us. Pop over to the Scrapbook Garden and have a peep at all the goodies thats there , theres some great new products being added all of the time, so dont miss out on the bargains.

Have a lovely weekend , Im off to my Granddaughters Christening inbetween working and Im looking forward to it .
