Life Crafted with Diane

Hi everyone, Diane here with a fun spread in my Life Crafted album.

The whole idea for this page came from that one little photo strip die cut in the ephemera pack! I measured out the little spaces and printed the same photo three times to fit. 

Then I went through the rest of the pack and picked out all the pretty floral pieces I haven't had a chance to use yet.

When it came to choosing a patterned paper for my spread, the floral paper I liked the most had huge lime green leaves on it. Not really the colour scheme I was going for. So I opened up the digital paper in Photoshop and easily changed the colours to suit my pastel theme. Check out my process video below for a very simple tutorial.

Once I had my paper printed, the rest of the page came together very simply by creating three floral clusters and adding little pops of black with some thread and a black gen pen! I'm a cheat I know, but I just couldn't risk destroying all that pastel-y goodness with black ink flying everywhere! 

Here's a look at the process this layout took ...
