The Merly Impressions January Crop is nearly upon us so we thought we would let everyone know about the kit our croppers will be using on Saturday 21st January.
The kit uses Decembers Kaisercraft collection called Sweet Nothings. This collection features images of cherubs, flowers, butterflies and birds in shades of pink, blue and green – a truly beautiful and romantic collection. The kit will include five 12 x 12 papers, one die-cut paper and one speciality paper, the Long Birdcage Wood Flourish, a Pearl Flourish, a set of Latte Pearls and some Embroidery thread.
The first layout, that we have called “Beautiful Mum”, includes one photo measuring 10.5cm wide by 15cm high preferably featuring shades of Blue, Greens and peachy colours. A sepia tone or vintage photo would also work well.
The second layout, which we’ve called “One, Two, Three” includes three photo’s measuring 6.25cm wide by 6.5cm high. We have used Sepia toned photo’s on this layout but picture including shades of Blue, Green and Peach would also work.
Both of these layouts would suit romantic, or beauty themed photo’s (especially the first layout).
You are obviously free to alter the title (and therefore the theme) of the layouts. We will bring the tools we have used on the layouts such as the Spellbinder Ribbon Banners. I have decorated the Wood Flourish using Ranger Distress Ink Pads (Stormy Sky & Weathered Wood) and sprayed it with Perfect Pearl Mist (Blue Raspberry) – any blue ink pad would do but I will bring my Ranger ones for people to use if they wish. Other items used are Crystal Lacquer, a journal pen and an Edge Scraper Tool. You will also need to bring a small pair of small scissors (because there is some delicate cutting out on both layouts) and a sewing needle as there is some stitching on one of the layouts (although this is optional).
The kit will cost £12 on the day but is entirely optional. The location of the crop, together with other details, can be found on our Crop Dates page.
