Welcome to the Gorgeously Grungy, Shabby Chic with an Edge style of Louise.
Louise cleverly mixes her graphic designer skills with a love of shabby chic, giving her pages their own unique twist.
She embraces Hybrid scrapping, seamlessly mixing digital elements onto a traditional paper layout…sometimes altering her photo, maybe printing digital embellishments or often using the computer to journal the story.
She likes to draw you deep into her layouts creating intriguing dimension with shadows of chalk, ink or paint….creating a well loved, care worn look in the process.
Louise gets rough with those richly coloured papers, tearing, ripping edges, folding down, scrumpling…its all about creating texture and contrast. Her signature is to layer up her embellishments, grouping together items she loves in fabulous clusters bursting with swirls of foliage and flowers.
Louise is all about attention to details…If you look very closely you will see the carefully layered up strips of patterns and trims, the sheer or clear elements….gauzy ribbons, transparent overlays, the sprinkle of bling and brads or a sweeping swirl of hand stitching that appear effortlessly beautiful but which have been created with much care and thought.
