Instructions:

1. Carefully cut around the patterned paper and trim it back as shown on the LH side, so that it can sit above other elements on your page. The new Prima Craft Knife is perfect for this step.

2. Use the Martha Stewart around the page punch to create a decorative edge around your page. Ink edges and stick down onto the black paper.

3. From the paper that has several distinct areas on it, cut out the long black damask floral part. Punch across the top edge. Ink edges.

4. Cut a strip from the cream left over part of the paper the first cut out came from and punch across one side. Ink edges and stick down as shown below.

5. Add the two layers of ribbon as shown.

6. Arrange the hand-cut edge and the strip across the page and stick down.

7. Cut another section from the patterned paper, the bordered ledger part. Ink edges and stick down just above the top of the punched edge.

8. Glimmermist 2 small roses and one of the white flowers to the delicate pink colour.

9. Add your photos, chipboard, floral embellishments, and, finally, your title to finish off the page. I have printed part of the title onto a transparency, cut around it and stuck down with Ranger Glossy Accents. I used Porcelain font downloaded from the internet.

By placing the emphasis on the large deep pink flower, deep pink velvet ribbon and the deep pink in the colour photograph, a trio of accents has been created to make the whole page pop.

Sizing of flowers is crucial in making a floral cluster work effectively. Always start with your largest flower/s and work downward in size from there, adding small sprays and leaves as the last touch as this is the best way to ensure balance in both design and color composition to the cluster.

The small cluster provides balance to the larger cluster and also helps in creating part of a visual triangle in the design of the LO.
