MOC 13 - 05 - Recipe

I've had a note on my scrapbooking spreadsheet since the blog hop that I wanted to make a page about myself with this kit. I'm so glad that I finally got a chance to, especially since it's so much more optimistic than what I would have made back then.

Made with Lost collaboration (blog hop) from the Lilypad Designers
I also grabbed a stitching element from the Yes collaboration (blog hop)

RECIPE:
1. One plain light background paper - think pale, but any color. Peach background paper
2. Add 2 more patterned papers to the layout - any way you want, any pattern or color. Painted damask and carnation arrows
3. Blend some paint, splatter, or gesso to any of the papers on your layout. Paint under photo, blended into background paper (2 layers)
4. Photos - let's add up to 3 photos, they can be framed or not, it's up to you. Minimum 1 photo, Maximum 3 photos. One photo, framed
5. Place 4 pieces of foliage on your layout. 3 leaves and a branch
6. Lay at least 5 or more flowers onto your foliage. The flowers must touch foliage in some way. 5 flowers exactly
7. Add up to 3 additional elements - stickers, stitches, postage stamps, etc. Anything goes here. Torn envelope, stitching, camera
8. Add one sentence of journaling, one word art, a title and a date. Word art is the card tucked under the frame. Title is "finding my way" strip. Sentence contains a semi-colon to unite the two phrases but neither one can stand on its own. Date sort-of blends into paint.
