More 'Floral fantasy' from Scraps of Elegance / FabScraps

Hi friends! It's getting a little late here but I realized I have to do a  post now to make good use of the fact that the internet is actually working att the moment :-)

I have another page and a couple of cards to share from Scraps of Elegance latest kit  'Floral Fantasy'. I have already used quite a few of the abundant Graphic 45 sheets from the kit and this page uses the FabScraps collection 'French heirloom'. The large cabbage roses on the papers are so exquisite!!

This is  a very layered page with soo many fussy cut elements and I have raised all the cut-out roses 

with pop dots to emphasize both the layering and the texture. 

I also embellished with lots of tiny Bisque-coloured pearls from a small bottle of liquid pearls.

The gorgeous flowers are from Prima Marketing and are called Adelynn/Ageless.

They are in the beautiful flower add on. I have pre-ordered it to make sure I don't miss out as these add ons sell out quickly!!

I love the trellis design of the green burlap papers. It lends itself to the interesting look of cutting away a few of the 'diamond shapes' to reveal a different colour. I like how it lightens the mood a bit on these  papers soo laden with grandeur of yonderyears.

 I used some Prima alpha stickers from my stash for the title.

I made it fairly simple as the papers were enough in themselves. I remember so well all the 

magical fun we had spreading dandelion seeds all over the garden :-)

 I raised all the fussy cut elements with popsdots for a layered and textured page.

 I also made two cards with this kit. 

The papers on these are by Graphic 45 and are called 'Botanical Tea'.

The flower on the card is the same kind as those on the layout an the stickers as well.

The large journaling cards and the stamps are cut out from the different patterned papers. 

That was all for now!! I hope you liked what you saw and if you have the kit; Happy Creating!!

Hugs!!

One more page with the Scraps of Elegance March kit using the 'Botanical Tea' collection.

The other day I shared the very first page that I ever made using Graphic 45 papers. 

I always think their lines look lovely but up until now I have found them quite difficult to use 

and hard to cut into (because they are so pretty).

With the recent line 'Botanical Tea', however, all those thoughts disappeared. As usual Melinda Kelly of SOE kits have picked an excellent collection of papers and embellishments and the kit, Floral Fantasy, is such a delight to work with! You can see the photos of the kit here and also buy it  HERE.

I fussy cut various elements from the detailed G45 papers and added a few dimensional flowers to go with them. In the flower add on was a large Prima jute flower that I coloured using some paint from a previous kit. I used the Silks 'Pink Grapefruit' paint. 

 In the kit was also a sheet with small diecut file folders and patterned tags to go with them. 

Some of them have sentiments on them like this one that says 'Just because'. 

The large white flower is by Manor House Creations.

 I think the papers here go so well with the sweet picture of our pampered kitten Lady. She has such beautiful green eyes. And also I do love polka dots and these on green are especially cute! 

I raised some of the details with pop dots.

 I used a CraftersWorkshop stencil 'Chicken Wire' size 6x6 for my background and the mini roses are by various, including papirdesign and I am Roses.

Even though it is raining here at the moment there is a distinct promise of Spring in the air. 

The temperature has been slowly rising and today, Saturday, is longer and lighter than yesterday. 

It is so nice to know that the sun 'has turned' as we say here and that hopefully the best is yet to come!

Thanks for visiting here today!

I am thrilled for every little comment you feel like leaving me here and hopefully you were able to find a detail or two to inspire you! Any questions are welcome.

Hugs!!

Scraps of Elegance kits, March reveal *Floral Fantasy* Graphic 45.

I love to be on the Scraps of Elegance kits design team!

 We allways receive such gorgeous material to work with!!

Today I am sharing the beautiful and feminine March 2014 kit and my first page using it!!

Firstly; here is a picture of the kit without the add ons:

It is called  Floral Fantasy.

 I picked out a few sheets of papers and some embellishments from Graphic 45 and also added a few Prima flowers.

I fussy cut some flowers and a small butterfly as well as some 'floral postage stamps'.

 I used the G45 Botanical Tea Collection Tags & Pockets as embellishments on my page. You can see two of the tags used as banners at the top of the page. The floral designs of this collection are utterly beautiful!!

I picked some pretty Prima flowers with different shapes that were such a great match to my Miss B's jacket in the photo. We had my darling sister and niece visiting from Norway and the photo was taken on one of our outings.We went to the countryside to ride 'cykeldressin'. I tried to find a good translation but it didn't sound right. Anyway it's kind of like riding a tandem bike on old railway tracks (not still in use). FUN!!

One of the sheets had six double sided cards to cut out. They can be used as embellishments like this or maybe to make cards. I will do that as well I think!

As you can see the colours and designs of the Botanical tea collection are gorgeous!! I will have a lot of fun with this kit!!

And here are some pictures of the add ons:

Last pages from Scraps of Elegance Jan kit using Kaisercraft 'Key to my Heart' and Heidi Swapp 'Mixed Company'

 Today I want to share my two last pages made wih the Scraps of Elegance January kit 'Delightful'. The kit is as always jam packed with papers and pretty embellishments and a true 'delight' to work with apart from the suitable name .-)

For the first page I used papers from the  Heidi Swapp collection .......
I cut away paper inside the 'diamonds' to make the design more interesting and individual.
I love how it turned out, and the stitching as well.

I fussy cut flowers from another patterned paper and layered them as an additional embellishment. 

I also added a couple of faux tags to get a more layered look, and as a mat for my title.

 I had some geraniums in my stash, but they were the wrong colour. I used the paint from the colour add on (Silks; Pink Grapefruit) to change the look of the flower so it would go with my design.

Some of the flowers here (mini roses) are from the Norwegian manufacturer Papirdesign.

I added a little gesso here and there for a more shabby 'aged' look.

This second page was done after the monthly sketch at SOE and I used one half of two different Kaisercraft papers and some elements from the sticker sheet.

I used some of the solid papers from the cardstock add on. 

I love the look of my punched holes as part of the sketch design. So simplistic.

I cut off part of the light blue journaling spot as I felt it was too large for me and added the 

border piece back on so it would not show :-)

My page is quite simple, but in real life there are a few more touches to it. For example I used 

pop dots to raise some page elements to make it more interesting. I backed a couple of 

the stickers with cardstock to make them stand out.

The pretty ice blue pearl brads are also in the lovely 'Delightful' January kit at Scraps of Elegance. 

Yesterday the February kit was revealed at the SOE blog, and HERE is the link.

Hurry up if you would like to buy the kit because the kit and add ons are selling out  

REALLY fast!!

Thanks for visiting and for any comments you may leave. 

I so love reading them!!
