Okay, so here are the projects that I created with this gorgeous kit:

I decided to play up the punchy colours in the flowers found in the papers. I fussy cut the blooms and made that the focal colour of my layout.


I didn't want to use the Prima branch in its entirety so I cut off each flower from the branches and applied to my project here and there - to add texture.

I think I may have a new addiction to Perfect Pearls. There is always one bottle included with the Scrap That! kits and they are so perfect for adding in tiny details.

My next project features a softer palette. I decided to play up the peach tones found in one of the sheets of paper. My only issue was that there were only 2 peach flowers. What to do? I painted the rest of the flowers with acrylic paint !


I added some of the perfect pearls to the centres and tips of all my flowers to give them more of a realistic look.
I added in some vintage newsprint from an old children's book I found at a local thrift store. Love adding unique pieces like this - just a little goes a long way.

The last layout I created with the kit started off as a total nightmare!!! I had never worked with canvas before receiving my kit and let me tell you.... it was a 'titch' of a challenge! Let's just say this is the 'back' of my canvas that you see on my page (LOL)!

I added in some of my own Dusty Attic Flourishes and the crochet doilies are from a previous Scrap That! kit.
I opted for a monochromatic feel for this layout - using mainly white and lightly coloured embellishments. The little bows were created using strips of the canvas sheet.

To created my doily mask, I lay a paper doily on my canvas and proceeded to mist away. I then gave it a bit of a whitewash by painting over the misted image with white acrylic paint.
