I've started with my ever favourite Kaisercraft paper, from 'Precious Moments' & 'Timeless Classics' collections. I've added some modelling paste thru this gorgeous Imagine if . . star stencil, distressed, stitched, then added lace & burlap to the layers.
Handmade burlap bloom, crocheted & prima flowers keep the page uncomplicated while matching the colour scheme perfectly.
I LOVE the kiwiana chipboard available at Imagine if . . , infact they are the only company that I'm aware of that produces this type of product. Here I've added some flocking to the koru pieces.
This felt kiwi is a perfect companion for the mighty Tane don't you think? As he IS the star of the forest I hope I have done him proud. 'Tฤne Mahuta (Lord of the Forest) is New Zealand’s largest known living kauri tree and without doubt its most famous, it is believed to be over 200 years old.
Thanks for joining us here at Southern Girls Challenge, I hope this has inspired you to try something a little different.
Utterly love this layout Brenda. It really struck a chord with me, as when my daddy died, one of the local Maori men that grew up with my papa, likened him to Tane Mahuta, declaring 'the great Kauri had fallen'. So as you can imagine. It reduced me to tears! Love this to bits. Beautiful in every way, especially with the special Koru and Kiwi embellies. Hugs, Wends x
