The Gali Girl

Time for me to show off the gorgeous Miss Gali!

I was so lucky to be able to capture this gorgeous photo of her in late August.

She's on the fireplace hearth with the 'snacky bowl'.

The layout page is from the Blue Fern Studios Happy Accident collection.

I really liked the touches of blue and tea stained splotches in the paper.

I used Tim Holtz's stencil Splatters with a perfect color match of Distress Ink Tea Dye 

to make additional splotches on the page. 

(just a tidbit of info for those that might be a little curious....the doors of the fireplace insert remain open at all times due to one 'LUCY THE BAD' who absolutely demands and insists that it be this way!  LOL!  Otherwise, she will proceed to scratch the glass in a very annoying rhythmic motion! LOL!)

A piece from The Dusty Attic chipboard Brick Walls was used to mimic bricks inside the fireplace. 

I used a dauber to color the grout in Distress Ink Black Soot,

while Distress Ink Pumice Stone was paint brushed on the bricks.
Inking was done directly to the bare chipboard.

The photo is adhered to a piece of cardboard for dimension.

The distressed paper under it is adhered to cardboard as well, 

so that the whole piece sits higher than the chipboard brick wall.

I placed the custom cut chipboard title below the photo.

(You can order custom cut high quality chipboard words at Want2Scrap).

The Dusty Attic's Upper & Lowercase ABCs (word 'The') are lightly inked in Creamy Brown.

'Gali Girl' is inked in Dark Brown.

Great match with Miss Gali's beautiful hair colors.

I finished with some dainty flower arrangements on each side of the photo.

The arrangement to the right of the photo is larger to help balance the look of the layout.

Tattered Lace dies were used for the leafy die cuts.

Here are some flower close ups.

I just LOVE these spiral stamens from Wild Orchid Crafts!

It's so difficult to get good photos of Miss Gali

 so I'm definitely framing this layout!

Thank you very much for your visit and please come again!

Have a wonderful week,

Lisa : )
