Printers Tray Completed! {Part 2}

Did you miss my post yesterday?  If so, look here.  You can see the first set of instructions for the 7 Gypsies printers tray that I will complete for you today. 

To continue, you will want to choose your colors and papers before beginning to complete your piece.  I chose the Spiceberry 6x6 pack from last year only because the colors matched our pet sitter's business logo perfectly!  The Spiceberry 6x6 pack is still available too!  Be sure to check your local store or your favorite online store!  Even though it is a Christmas collection, the colors can also be used throughout the year!  I also used the new notecard color Wassail.  The Wassail matches the Spiceberry papers wonderfully.

So, now that you have your papers and colors chosen, let's continue the project:

 
8.  I measured each opening in the tray and decorated each one as I went along. Notice how I varied the papers from the paper pack and placed the photos in various spaces.  I also included her business logo and photos of her own family that she shares on her business website.
9.  I used lots of older embellishments and things I had lying around to give it variety!
10.  The adhesives I used most on this piece were Scor-Tape, Ranger Glossy Accents, and Glue Dots.  The Glossy Accents worked wonderfully for adhering the lace on the edges of the tray.
11.  The three Memory Box bird stamps worked great for this piece especially since this piece is about my parrots and the pet sitter. :)  The stamps I used were the Memory Box Meadow Birds {D1376}, Memory Box Woodblock Bird {D1307}, and Memory Box Bird Huddle {D1285}.  I stamped each one in VersaMark and embossed with embossing powder on the Wassail notecard.  You too will want to add stamps where appropriate.
12.  To finish, I added a note to the pet sitter on the back of my piece, signed it, and dated it.
