This kit contained some beautiful Basic Grey papers from their Fresh Cut range, I can't remember the last time I had the opportunity to play with Basic Grey papers so it really was a treat!
First up is a page I did for a UK Scrappers challenge using the colour coral, you can see the papers really lend themselves to blue sky type photos. I added the pink cardstock to the kit and then played with torn elements. I also handstitched around the edge of the pink cardstock with some of the never ending supply of embroidery thread that I still have from my old cross stitch days!
This page documents the village of Portmeirion; we got the photo when we set off along the coastal walk looking back!
Next up said 13 year old and a 'new' sculpture at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park that we discovered last year. The papers have so many gorgeous colours in them that matching in the bright orange sculpture and the turquoise jacket he was wearing, really wasn't an issue!
I added some plain pink cardstock to the top and bottom edges, rounded the corners to the photos and the layered elements, used one of the gorgeous titles that are part of the same range and a journal block too.
Up close you can see the handstitching and journal block. I loved the turquoise diamond paper that came with the range and as the papers were double sided extra versatile for layouts!
