Hi Cathy here sharing my creations
with this month’s gorgeous new Collections from
Kaisercraft – Cottage Rose and Sea Breeze.
I am loving the Cottage Rose
collection, which has a pretty shabby chic feel with beautiful floral, damask
and weatherboard patterned papers… just a gorgeous collection all around!!
“Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful”
For this layout I went to town with fussy cut flowers from the beautiful
‘Floral Bouquet’ pp, which I layered with a few Collectables and stickers from
the 12x12 Sticker Sheet, creating a pretty cluster to surround my photo.
background
paper with Derivan modelling paste using the beautiful Floral Lace Designer
Template, and randomly stamped around the edges with the lace border from the
Cottage Rose stamp set. I finished off
with some flicks of candy Kaisermist and diecut butterflies from the C6
Butterflies Decorative Die.

“Wedding Day” - Altered 8”x10” Frame
The papers from the Cottage Rose
collection have a lovely old-world dreaminess to them, and just perfect for
creating an altered frame to showcase a wedding photo. The new glitter
cardstock adds a lovely touch of sparkle to the main flower cluster… so many
gorgeous colours to choose from!! I diecut the Berry Vine Decorative Die from
the pistachio glitter cardstock. Looks
so much prettier in real life!

I have to admit that teal is one of my all-time favourite colours, so
when I clapped my eyes on the Sea Breeze collection, I was in love!! Beautiful flowers mixed in with a lovely
variety of pretty patterned papers and contrasting black and white to make the
teal colours pop and you have a collection which is a pure delight!!
OMG how gorgeous is the Speciality
Ripple Gloss Paper from the Sea Breeze Collection!! Pull out a couple of co-ordinating mists and you
have a stunning background created in an instant!! I chose to combine the Turquoise with the
Wisteria Kaisermists to create a luscious contrast against the white
background, then flicked over this with the Winter Grey Kaisermist to create a
little more depth, and a touch of sparkle with some lilac rhinestones.
For my title I diecut the happiness
word from the new release Decorative Die Word Set – Happiness in violet Weave Cardstock to make
it pop and tie in with the wisteria Kaisermist.

I chose to use the other gorgeous
Specialty Diecut paper from this range to create my second layout, as I loved
the weatherboard teamed with the pretty blooms… no need to pull out my scissors
for fussy cutting here, as I used some of the beautiful blooms from the
Collectables.
I love to distress and grunge up my
creations, as it adds a layer of texture and dimension, so for this layout I
cut random slits in the Specialty Paper and distressed the edges so that you
can see the pretty background paper peeking through. The Paper Blooms were given distressed finish
by flicking with a touch of turquoise Kaisermist, then dipping the edges of the
flower in gesso and sprinkling the wet gesso with aged embossing powder… hard
to see in the pictures, but it looks really pretty and very shabby chic.
One of the other techniques I love to
use to create a distressed/shabby look, is to sand the edges of my papers and
photos to expose the white core using one of my favourite tools – the
Kaisercraft Sanding Block!! I love the
illusion of dimension this creates on my layouts.
