Here are some of the details on this layout.
I've used the "Packing Tape Transfer" technique to create the photograph. However, instead of pasting it onto a cardstock or paper, I've transferred the image onto an acrylic sheet. It's really cool to keep the see-throughness of the photograph on the layout.
I've added some Magic Mesh on the corners of the acrylic sheet and distress them a bit with Distress Stickles.
I've misted some Distress Inks onto the white chipboard alphas. To create a distress look to it, don't mist it entirely. Just a hint of it here and there.
I've also used some fie-cut butterflies which I've gotten them from a great friend of mine sometime ago to embellish the page. Thanks Jamie! Dress up the butterflies with Stickles and rhinestones.

Hi Irene :-) love your blog!!!
When you'r playing with "packing tape transfer" is it an inkjet printer, or a lacer printer, you use?
I sat and looked back on your blog, and saw what a fabulous develobment you have gone trew. Fantastic!!!!
Hi Karin,
You have to print it using a toner based printer or laser printer. If you don't have one, simply print it out and photocopy it using a toner based photocopy machine. Hope this helps.
