'Embrace' Butterfly Kisses

I do 'Love me some colour'. Gosh, how totally smitten did I become with the bright infusion of happy colour with Kaiser's Butterfly Kisses Collection.  You can't help but smile when you work with this one. The colours are super fun and the elements so super cute!


To make the colours 'pop' I added a neutral cardstock background.  I added this over some patterned paper so that just a splash of colour peeks around the outside edges.

Thin strips from a few papers from the Butterfly Kisses Paper Pad were layered behind the photo.

Layered Chipboard elements combined with an assortment of the collectables elements embellish this sweet moment captured of my young niece and nephew.

Manor House Creations - All Dressed up

For Spring with the NEW Manor House Spring Collection.

When I think of Spring, instantly pretty blossoms and flowers come to mind.  The new Manor House Spring collection beckoned me to do some more 'dressing up'.  I just had to make something girly and pink and here 'she' is...

A dress corsage was created with a beautiful Lotus bloom as the feature.  

Pretty pink glitter roses and leaves were made into a vine and trail down the side. A touch of gesso to the leaves softens and adds a little shabbiness.  Pink Celeste blooms are tucked into the mix. 

Another Celeste bloom finishes the back off. A Starlight flower adds a touch of elegance to the dress from shoulder.  

Another vine is created with leaves and Mini Pink Dahlias and wrapped around the base.  A stamped image and some shabby resin finish it off.

Dream

I just adore the Kaisercraft Periwinkle collection.  It was hard to not become smitten with the beautful soft colours, decorative frames, birds, balloons and foliage.  One of my favourite elements of this collection are the Collectables and the architectural elements - especially the frames.  A few of these have been incorporated in the design on my page.  

I punched around the edge of the 'Dawn' patterned paper with a WRMK punch - just love the large decorative die cut this creates. 

A little altering to the lighter side of the punched page was done first with some masking and glimmer mist.  When this was dry, clear stamps with some texture paste and inks in vintage and turquoise were then stamped over the top. 

A rose leaf wooden flourish was layered with Periwinkle collectables and just a few sweet blooms - Sage and Honey coordinate beautifully as do the wooden flourishes left in their natural state. 

A decorative border punch was used to 'dress' up the wooden flourish mannequin.

This and That

Something soft and pretty to share today - another project combining The ScrapCake 'Sweet Childhood' papers with Manor House Creations flowers.

My two girls spend a bit time talking and whispering about 'this and that'

Sweet patterned paper childhood elements were combined with a medly of beautiful Manor House blooms - Winter's Song, Petite Roses, Idyllic and Sprinkles to name just a few

Paper doilies create a pretty background

Along with die cut and punched elements.  A sweet little birdie and a touch of Prima shabby metal finishes it off.

Just Believe in 'Love'

I do 'believe that the Kaisercraft 'Just Believe' Collection would have to be up there as one of my favourite Christmas releases.  I just adore the softly muted toning and gorgeous floral elements of this range.  In some ways it is perhaps not your 'traditional' christmas range -  the grey blue and green is a nice change to the darker traditional green and would lend itself nicely to a variety of projects.

In this instance though,  I have gone with a Christmas photo to showcase this beautiful collection.

I did get a little scissor happy with some hand cut elements from the 'Starlight' and 'Glisten' papers.

Collectable elements were layered with pretty paper blooms -

  Fire Red and Sage coordinate beautifully with this collection.
