Escape The Ordinary - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made with lots of papers and embellishments from the Pink Fresh Studio "Escape the ordinary" collection - all available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I started with a sheet of white cardstock and added strips of the Wander paper along 2 edges as shown. I then matted my photo over a white paper doilie and added fabric die cuts and stitched hearts to embellish.

In the top left corner I added a stitched heart and then used gold wood veneers to create the title.

In the bottom left corner I added elements cut from the Search paper as well as more fabric die cuts and a stitched heart. Lastly I added some splatters of black and gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine across my page, a stamped date and hand written journalling.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Birthday Cards - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I'm sharing two birthday cards made using lots of gorgeous new Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

These cards coordinate with the scrapbook page I shared the other day. When possible I try and make some cards using similar colours, papers and embellishments as the scrapbook pages I make - this means I can quickly make some useful cards using leftovers from my scrapbook projects!

I used papers from the Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane collection and Prima Watercolor Confections "Pastel Dreams".

I started by watercolouring using the "Painting with plastic" technique, then adding splats of each colour. This white cardstock was cut down to 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" then matted on Magnolia Jane papers then put on a 6" x 6" card base.

All of the chipboard was painted with the watercolour paints, then I applied some BoBunny glitter paste (rose gold) over the top of the butterflies for some sparkle!
