Ella Rose
By LeNae Gerig

LeNae’s black, burgundy, blue and green color scheme sets a rich tone for this “Ella Rose” layout. Pre-coordinated papers from the Classic sarapapers™ collection make it easy to combine cool patterns while sage cardstock and silk flowers help to lighten up the page and boost the femininity.

Supplies:

• Paper Pizazz® Classic sarapapers™: Multi floral, multi dots and burgundy geometric lines papers plus tags
• Classic Embellish-abilities™: Black brads, black mini brads, ivory button, silk flowers, ivory sheer ribbon
• black cardstock
• sage cardstock
• black pen
• Glue Dots™
• glue stick

Instructions:

1. Use the multi floral paper as the background. Cut a 4”x12” piece of multi dots paper and tear the long right edge. Lay the paper on a flat surface and use your fingers to lightly roll up the torn edge, then glue the dots paper flush against the left edge of the page.
2. Mat a 5”x7” vertical photo on black cardstock, trimming the mat to 1/16”. Mat again on burgundy geometric lines paper, trimming the mat to 3/8”. Mat a third time on sage cardstock, trimming the mat to 1/16”. Glue the matted photo centered on the floral portion of the background paper, 1 1/2” up from the bottom edge. Cut out the striped label and use a black pen to journal on it, then glue it centered across the bottom edge of the burgundy geometric lines photo mat. Add one black brad to each end of the label and add one black mini brad to each corner of the burgundy geometric lines mat.
3. Cut a 12”x3/8” strip of sage cardstock. Glue the strip about 7/8” down from the top of the page and add one black mini brad to each end. Cut a very thin strip of burgundy geometric lines paper and thread one end down through each of the holes on one ivory button. Use a Glue Dot™ to secure the button to the top of one small white silk flower, then layer on top of a large ivory silk flower. Cut out the tags and use a black pen to journal on them. Cut a 2 1/2” length of ivory sheer ribbon and trim the tails at an angle. Fold the length in half, then use Glue Dots™ and a glue stick to secure the folded end of the ribbon length, the tags and the layered silk flowers in a cluster toward the left end of the sage cardstock strip.
