New Petaloo!

I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with the newest CHA releases from Petaloo!! The colours of the new flowers are so rich and the new Garlands and Trims are nothing short of lush and gorgeous!

For my card, I cut the trim into several smaller pieces and tucked some under my title and a few behind the beautiful flowers.

Ooooh - can you see how thick this Garland is? So gorgeous! Of course, what would a spring card be without the amazing Once Upon a Springtime collection from Graphic 45?


I also used some papers from Pink Paislee's Sweetness collection and Cosmo Cricket's Circa collection (love)!

I also created an 8x8 layout for Petaloo's booth this year which was very different for me as I'm use to working with a 12 x 12 background. Again, I paired the gorgeous blooms with Graphic 45 and love the final outcome (was aiming for vintage spring...)

I adore the vines - they are fantastic and so easy to work with. I bent this one slightly and layered with some fussy cut flowers.

I actually broke apart some of the Magnolia blossoms. I needed some smaller blooms and the centres of these flowers were the perfect size.

In addition, I used the leftover petals of these altered flowers for the rim of my doily - waste not, want not.
