Instructions: Measure down 4.5" from the top center of the designer paper. Make a small pencil mark. Measure 3" to both the left and the right of this mark. Use a ruler and a craft knife to cut a 6" long slit in the paper. Measure 4.5" down from the center of this slit and make a small pencil mark. Use a ruler and a craft knife to cut a straight slit along this line. Use your pencil to roll the left and right hand sides of this slit back like a scroll. Die cut the Decorative Lace Border die from white cardstock. Cut in half from top to bottom. Glue each half onto the back side of the slit opening and glue to the designer paper as seen in the photo. Cut 2 of the largest Layered Elegant Swirls from white cardstock and glue onto the horizontal slit, as shown in the photo. Cut the black 6" x 6" square from the designer paper. Randomly add texture paste with the honeycomb stencil. Let it dry, paint with Picket Fence Crackle Paint and then when dry, sponge with Pumice Stone Distress Ink. Glue behind the cut opening so that it shows through, as seen in the photo.
Stamp several sets of the Blazing Poppy Petals onto the various shades of pink cardstock using both Strawberry Slush and Rose Red SU Ink. Sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. Die cut with the Blazing Poppy Die. Lightly sponge the centers with Black Soot Distress Ink. Shape with the Deluxe Tool Kit. Spray with TA Silk Glimmer Mist. Glue layers together to form large, medium and small flowers. I used a total of 7 flowers for this layout. Fill the centers with beads, brush with Picket Fence Crackle Paint and set aside to dry. When dry, brush again with Clear Crackle Paint. Let dry.

Let dry, Paint with Picket Fence Crackle Paint. Let dry. Stamp the page randomly with the Elegant Word Background and London Fog Ink. Spritz and spatter the entire page with Silk Glimmer Mist.
Wad up some scrap paper and glue to the back of your photo, then glue the photo into the slit you created earlier, as shown. Glue the prepared flowers around the opening, as shown. Paint the bird cage with Picked Raspberries Distress Stain and Clear Crackle Paint. When dry, glue in place. Paint the words "HAPPY" with the Black Soot Distress Paint. When dry, paint with Clear Crackle Paint and glue onto the layout, as shown. Paint the berries with Picked Raspberry Distress Stain and sponge the leaves with Moss Green Metallic Paint. Tap very lightly with Picket Fence Distress Paint. Add Dries Clear Glue randomly to the berries and dip into the mixed lilac Czech beads. Add to layout as shown.
