Singapore Day & Night Zoo Layout

I created this layout using Lesa Bird's sketch Lesa designed for her Couture Creations Design Team application.

While these are not the most attractive photos, they tell a story of just how hot and humid it was in Singapore both before and after the storm. Although we had to run around the day zoo as it was pouring, we enjoyed both Zoo's the crowds at the night zoo were unbelievable.


I also embossed the Longevity die cut flowers, to give them some texture
to emboss the 12" x 7" piece of Cardstock I folded it in thirds and ran it though the Cuttlebug this give a embossed and debossed background


I also embossed the strip of patterned paper


here is Lesa's sketch


you can view Lesa's layout on Lesa's blog and also on Couture Creations blog join in the fun and create a layout using Lesa's sketch and post it on the Couture Creations Facebook page.
