Recipe from Finn: (I think she did a great job translating for us!)
"Ok, here it is:)
Now about the layout:
This purple and green 12x12 layout base are free digital papers by Agnieszka - Anna called "Patrick". I downloaded the papers, printed them in a proper size and then used for this layout. The whole idea was to create something " in a celtic mood" because I've always loved those climates, art and music. I hope I made it:)
If you want to create a similar one you have to start with distressing the edges of the papers, sticking it and sewing it together - I used my old sewing machine. I inked the edges a bit to make it look more old and vintage. When the base is ready it's time to prepare the photo and the smaller pieces of papers - here they are just stripes - one is a very nice celtic knot cut out of a paper included in the set. The round element is also prepared this way.
I put some black lace under a stripe of paper, then added the photo and the grungeboard swirls, inked with Distress inks by Tim Holtz - they suit the paper perfectly. I placed the eyelets and a piece of string, I added Prima flowers and leaves from the gorgeous set "Crown Jewels" - the leaves are dyed a bit with Glimmer Mists to suit the papers better :)
Now - the final touch - I put some Ranger Accents Crackle on the inked grungeboard title and the chipboard elements from the paper set. I let it dry perfectly. Next I filled the chipboard with some green beads, sticked with some crafting glue and I placed a Melissa Frances keyhole, inked with an Adirondack alcohol ink "Pesto" in the centre of one of the Prima flowers.
Done:)
I hope you 'll have a great time :)
