Wedded Bliss

As a gift for my sweet brother in law and his lovely wife, I created this layout of the two of them on their wedding day this past October.

I was planning to feature the new Celebration blooms from Petaloo but I haven't yet received my box so.... might have to make a few more projects with these two lovebirds as my models!!

The GORGEOUS die cut is from Anna Griffin - how delicate - completely perfect for a wedding project - non? The Petaloo Blooms I used are Color Me Crazy Wild Roses, Color Me Crazy Embossed Leaves and Mulberry Street Wild Roses.

I wanted a soft and romantic feel for this layout to match the brides's skintone so I opted for some Kitchen Spice from Bo Bunny (both sides) and some Cottage Collection from Crate Paper.

Once again, the thick lace I found from Daiso - super cheap! I just inked it to add a little bit of a peach hue.

Simple Flower Tutorial

Ok, I've been asked numerous times to do a tutorial on my handmade paper roses so here we go!! I STILL don't have a flower punch but I find that this works on ANY flat flower - doesn't matter how many petals it has... 5, 6, 7 - whatever, the steps are the same and the results yeild a beautiful flower regardless. The only rule is that each flower 'layer' must be the same size.

For my flowers, I used Petaloo's Flora Doodles (Value pack) which were perfect.

ENJOY!!!
