Scrapbook Garden Design Kit - The Dream Of An Inky Life

This is my 2nd layout from this months Design Kit for

The Scrapbook Garden.

Im so used to doing vintage layouts I wanted to try something

using a current photo.

My daughter recently had some photos taken which I thought

were fab and I decided to use one for this project.

I started with the Glitz Design 12 x 12 French Kiss

I cut out the centre piece leaving what made a great frame

on a piece of black cardstock.

Black is a perfect colour for Hannah she loves all things

dark and gothic.

Hannah wants to be a Tattoo Artist and it was that which

inspired this layout.

The detail on the border was beautiful

I used some Personal Impressions Canvas cloth to stamp

out some butterflies

Next I added a film strip die cut to the side of the layout

as it was my intention to add photographs of Hannahs own tattoos.

I added this years date into the gaps in the film strip

Added my photo

I printed out a tattoo image onto the canvas cloth

by putting it through my printer.

Its the first time ive used this cloth but i was over the moon with

the clear image i ended up with . It was so easy to use

and the quality superb. 

I cut out the tattoo and added it to the top

and bottom corners of the layout.

Using the American D.I.Y. Thickers- Macaw

I inked them with  Red inkpad to give a nice contrast to the black

Using small images of Hannahs actual tattoos

I matted them on cream cardstock

and positioned them on the black background.

Using a gold dabber I inked a piece of grungeboard

in the shape of a skull to fit in with the various skulls

on Hannahs tattoos

And added it to the layout.

That completes my layout .
