Robert & Elaine

For the second layout from the Merly kit I scrapped a photo of my brother, Robert and his wife Elaine on their wedding day in 2012.

This also involved stitching, and I used the machine to make holes around the paper before hand stitching with the DMC stranded cotton provided.

I used a different Martha Stewart punch around the page set to Chrissie Tingey of Merly Impressions.
The patterned papers used are from the Kaisercraft 'Secret Garden' collection. 

I cut my flowers on the Cricut and the Four Seasons cartridge, inked them with Distress Ink and added flat-backed pearls. The pre-cut vines were supplied in the kit.

I used some old Provo Craft letter stickers for the date, and some new Basic Grey letter stickers. These were white and dies with Distress Ink.

I added the rhinestones supplied.

Thanks for the inspiration Chrissie.

Thanks for looking
