Dear, sweet, and oh so wonderful Kirsty sent me a package of gorgeous papers! What a kind soul she is .... I am blessed to call her my friend. Filled with the softest of colors and the most beautiful floral prints ... they make me smile and have me thinking of spring.
The dot and small pink flower print are from my scraps. The deliciously gorgeous flower print is from Kirsty ... isn't it wonderful? I'm in love...sigh. The rub-on is the perfect message and the Basic Pearl Jewels add to the vintage look. I dyed some seam binding with water colored with drops from a Certainly Celery re-inker then added a Pretty-In-Pink corduroy button (still available in a variety of colors in our Clearance Rack.)
The flower is hand-made with a small 5 petal die and cardstock scraps. Slightly dampening each layer will make curling the petals upward around the center easier. I added a soft pink acrylic paint on edges and "glitterfied" it with Dazzling Diamonds. More patterned paper scraps along with our Scallop Punch and our Beautiful Wings Embossed Die creates a lovely layered embellishment.
Thanks for stopping by ...
