New Petaloo!

Color me excited when I received some new Petaloo product AND got to have a few of my projects go to CHA!  Seriously, you could have knocked me over with a feather.  Here are my projects that got to attend CHA.

Alright.  I'll admit it.  I LOVE the Chantilly Velvet Mini Blossoms.  They are perfect for filling in spaces in your flower clusters and for the leading edge of a vine.  On this page I used the velvet minis in blue.  The color contrast gave me the perfect "pop" for the muted tans and greens of the Graphic 45 paper I used.

I ran my picture through Photoshop Elements and gave it a high contrast black and white finish.  I then painted, embossed and stickled the Dusty Attic frame to set my photo on.  I also embossed the chipboard wings using Lindy's Stamp Gang Angel Wings Gold and then added some feathers to give the photo a dreamy look.

The mini blooms coordinate so well with the mixed cream flowers also from the Chantilly collection.

 I really love how the vintage paper from Tim Holtz accents perfectly the rich pink hues of the Petaloo Canterbury Glittered Fluers along with my black and white photo.  To me, this has a classic and warm look.  The photo (left to right) is my step-granddaughter, my step-daughter and my daughter.  I really love this photo.

I used some metal to create one of the layers my photo is sitting on.  I ran it through my Cuttlebug and embossed it.  Then I added some rusty hinge alcohol ink to it, warped and curled the edges.  I added some Coordinations paper to the layers.

I really love the Dusty Attic flourishes and skeleton clocks.  I hoard them!  LOL  I treated the flourishes with crackle paint and then embellished them with copper colored pearls.  I once again used some Lindy's Stamp Gang Embossing powder in Byzantine Bronze on the clock.  I only embossed some of the clock because I wanted it to look at little distressed.

Aren't those flowers gorgeous?!  They are just so delicate and sparkly in person.  I wish I had more!

A card maker I am NOT!  But, I'm learning.  LOL  I am so drawn to earthy and vintage looking things.  The textures just draw me in.  Take a look at those Canterbury Forget Me Nots!  They are beyond cute and absolutely perfect for cards.

Check out the Velvet Berry Picks!  Every part of these can be shaped because there is wire under those gorgeous leaves.  Psst!  *whispering*  I have these in green to and OH MY!!!  I just finished a holiday project that uses these and they are perfect for your flower clusters.

Thanks for stopping by!  I am always so humbled by your support.

XO, Lisa
