Bella Creations July Tres Chic Challenge~

Wow, another month has come and gone. It is July! I hope you enjoyed a safe and relaxing celebration of our country's founding and had the opportunity to thank a serviceman or woman. At Bella Creations the Tres Chic Challenge theme for July is 'soft and romantic', and there is a sketch to use created by our own design team member, Heather. Here is the sketch~

Here is the page I made using this sketch and the Bella Creations Kit.

I used a Martha Stewart corner punch on the striped oval layer. I also made the library pocket from one of the Melissa Frances pieces in the kit, then inked the edges. I substituted my own fabric strip to make the bow. I made the dress my daughter is wearing in the photo and had saved the remnants all these years! That's a true crafter for ya! haha~ The fairy in the upper left is from the Fairyopolis Card Kit and his wing is double layered.

                                  I placed two stick pins in the fabric bow.

I stamped on this layout and sewed the green ribbon on by machine. I used Ranger Distress Inks for stamping and distressing. There is journaling on the tag in the library pocket.~

Bella Creation's  lovely Kit includes paper from the Melissa Frances line. The kit also has flowers, ribbon, a fabric strip, pretty white leaves, a doily, and M. Frances stickers.(see below)

If you participate in the Tres Chic Challenge you could win a Fairyopolis card kit from Crafters Companion! The card kit includes rub-ons, cards & envelopes, die cuts and more.
