Sky Above, Earth Below, Peace Within

Hi there, here’s my ny next post for January for 49 and Market.
Fresh crisp and back to nature. Vintage Artistry Naturalist has all this and more. I created a window scene using the beautiful arched doors from the Naturalist laser cut sheet

The photos behind them is of my little piece of Zen in my back garden where my meditating gnome sits as a reminder to me to take a mindful moment to breathe & be grateful. And what a perfect quote from laser cut sheet, ‘Sky Above, Earth Below, Peace Within’.

I began by playing with positioning the Vintage Artistry Essentials Stitched Frames and the doors. Once happy I cut one frame diagonally in half, applied foam tape behind the frames and stuck one half in place to the top left and the other slightly lower to the right of where the doors will sit. 

I then proceeded to place and stick the photos behind the doors, then applied two layers of foam tape to various places at the back of the doors and stuck them in place. I overlapped two frames and stuck in place with a couple of layers of foam tape. I chose laser cuts from both Vintage Artistry Naturalist & In the Leaves along with flowers to fill the frames, in front and behind them. I placed  more laser cuts on and around the doors. 

To finish off I glued the quote to chipboard and cut it to fit on the door.

Wild and Free

It's Summer time here in Australia so it's a beach theme page to start off my 2022 Design Team year with 49 and Market and probably a few more to come this season. I hope it brings you some inspiration to spend some time creating. 

I used the paper  Vintage Artistry Peace and Joy - Northpole as my base page because I just loved the blue colour. I matted my photos with a very slight border of  pink toned paper from the Vintage Artistry Beached 8x6 Collection pack to bring out the pink of Cadence's bathers in the photo.

Once I decided on where I wanted the photos placed I added foam tape to the centre back of each photo. I do this so that I can tuck papers, embellishments, tags etc behind the photo if I wish. I then used a collection of flowers and laser cuts to create the piece at the bottom left of the photos. Laser cuts from both Vintage Artistry Beached and Shore, Frames, Flowers, Baubles and Trinkets, Chipboard Stickers and Jute. I used lots of bits and pieces from the Vintage Artistry Ephemera Stacks to create tags and tickets to the right of the photos and the bottom right of the page. These bags of goodies come in every colour collection in the Vintage Artistry Range. I love that I can always find that little something to tuck somewhere.
