Lucy Collecting Eggs ~ Scraps of Elegance, project #4

Hello, scrappy peeps! 
It's time for me to share another project created with the July Scraps of Elegance Kit which features 49 and Market's Cottage Life collection as well as KaiserCraft's Lilac Whisper along with tons of embellishments. 

"Collecting Eggs"


I found this wonderful old "still" photo of Lucille Ball among my Lucy photos and knew I wanted to use it if it possibly worked out at all. (The photo was taken by John Springer and is part of the Corbis collection now available through Getty images.)

I've used the back side of Cottage Life: Fresh Delivery as my base layer and included a torn layer of side B from Bicycle Alley. You can see that I've fussy cut images from Watering the Garden and Cottage Cut Outs.

To add some interest, I threw some watered down gesso across the center of the page before adhering a Blue Fern Studios Swirly Circle chipboard piece from my stash. Everything was built upon those layers.
Once my basic composition was figured out, the layout went together fairly quickly.



I adore the sweet Papermania notelets which serve as doily layers. The remainder of the layout relies heavily on the Cottage Life layered embellishments from the Elements add-on as well as flowers from the Floral add-on.



My title was computer generated and adhered to a piece of the striped side of the Garland paper.



More flowers tucked all around and dabbed with white gesso to blend. 



My "Lucy" subtitle was just small alphas from my stash. I had one last layered butterfly and used it here!



Just a quick dimensional shot.



Here's photo of the July Scraps of Elegance Main Kit. Last time I checked it was still in stock ... but they go quickly! To ensure that you never miss another Kit, you'll want to visit the Scraps of Darkness/Elegance Store and begin you Kit subscription. Personally, I order all the add-ons, so that I'll have plenty of co-ordinated supplies. 


Elements add-on, sold out

Floral add-on, sold out

I guess that wraps it up for today. 
As always, we so appreciate your dropping by and supporting us! 

See you next time! 
Sandi
