"Be Happy" layout by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix friends!
Happy Sunday to all of you!

Today I have another layout to share with you... this time
mixing some new and old dies which were so much fun to play with.
This photo (of my daughter and I) makes me smile and feel so happy -
a great memory of last Summer so I decided to scrap it and of course
Happiness Phrases dies were the perfect touch to it.

To make the butterflies I used my favourite brown fabric canvas. 

 On top I adhered another layer of the pretty Butterflies but this time I

used another material - sort of hard fabric which looks like grid.

They used it as anti-slip underlay for carpets/rugs (Ikea)

To make my butterfly pop and catch attention I added

a small flower and I added cute white antennae.... 

...and some more close-ups for you.....

Before I used the Mixed Media thinlits die I

cut a strip of the bottom part of the background pattern paper (approx. 6cm).

Then I die cut the paper strip from begin to end - using 4 times the Mixed Media die. 

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Maja Design Pattern Papers

Prima Marketing Flowers

Ingvild Bolme Distressing Tool
