The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog. She will have the complete list of all blogs that are participating in case there is a glitch along the way. If you would like to play along, I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way. Hidden on 5 of the blogs is a Zva Creative prize package ...YAY! Those blogs will be randomly chosen after the hop is over, so it's important to leave a comment on as many blogs as you can along the way.
The Blog Hop starts now and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, Oct. 26th and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, October 27th on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found on Kim Hughes‘s blog as well (linked above). We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to all of the blogs once again on Wednesday...plus, you never know what kind of inspirational creation that you may find there. All you need to do is leave a comment on this Zva Blog Hop post...you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. The more times you leave a comment along the blog hop path though, the more chances you will have to be one of the lucky winners.
The project I'd like to share with you today combines ZVA's gorgeous rose blossoms with their delicate pearl flourishes. LOVE the softness of these embellishments!
I used some of my famous crochet doilies for the page as well to help bring in the 'white' tones to the otherwise cooler blue and black shades. The papers are from Bo Bunny's Whoo-ligans collection.
The music paper was sourced from my local thrift store. Thrift stores are fantastic for finding 'treasures' to use in your craft projects. This music book was $1.00 and there are several hundred pages that can be distressed (as I have done), inked, altered, etc.
The flourish is one of the new releases from ZVA and includes a butterfly at the top of the embellishment. For my page, I found that using the flourish upside down worked better. I cut the butterfly wings and used in the centre of my leaves.
