A collaboration..

Hello all my dear crafty friends..


I have a very special post to share with you all today.
A while back, I was browsing anound on Facebook, and came across a page that caught my eye. It was a photograhers page, called Art of noise and what really stood out to me, was his nature pictures..

To make a long story short, Paul, the photogapher and I, got in touch and arranged for me to make a few projects using his pictures in exchange for me, showing his work on my blog.

I choose 2 flower pictures to use, as I just knew they would suit very well for both cards and scrapbooking pages. I have never used a real photo on a card before, and although I been scrapping for years, Ive never scrapped a picture of "just" a flower. It was a great challenge, but hey if you got a good image to work with, the inspiration just flows.

If you wish to see more of Pauls pictures, do stop by his website HERE
He takes wonderful pictures, so really worth a visit.

Here is what I made, using Paul's photo's.


Here is my card:


And here is my scrap page.






I hope you like what I made, Im really pleased with both projects, and it has deffinately made me realise how much you can incorporate pictures in to card making, and that even a "simple flower" can make a stunning scrap page.

I hope you all like what I've made.
THANK YOU for stopping by and for any comments left behind.
I hope you will all take the time to visit & like "Art of Noise" FB page as Paul's work is truely inspirational.

Big Hugs, Marleen xx
