MERLY IMPRESSIONS march challenge inspiration

hello scrappy friends!

i would like to share a brand new layout i created for the MERLY IMPRESSIONS’ march “food or my favourite food” challenge.

this month i have the pleasure to create with the amazing “TELEGRAPH ROAD” collection from KAISERCRAFT. the colour combo of this line is stunning and it is perfect for both boys and girls –

"ICE CREAM"

last summer we went to DISNEYLAND in PARIS and as usual during the summer the ice cream was a must. the little ones chose the largest swirly available, but somehow they both ended up eating up ELISE’s one. and as you can see from this picture - she couldn't refuse them, but she was not amused :-)

to create my background i used the mail die-cut glossy paper, which i layered on top of the notes pattern paper. the cute little bird on a branch i stamped with the key to my heart clear stamp set.

 

before adhering the pattern papers together, i carefully fussy cut the glossy roses from the notes sheet  and using die-cut flowers  and birds from the COLLECTABLES package, i designed the decoration in the two corners of my page. i embossed some of the blossoms and adhered them with mounting tape to achieve a 3-d effect.

i added STICKLES glitter glue to the roses as well.

 to embellish my page i used stamped and fussy cut different word banners, using the TELEGRAPH ROAD clear stamps:

 die cuts and shapes from the 6 x 6″ paper pad from the same collection

 … and stickers from the 12″ sticker sheet.

 i added flowers {KAISERCRAFT paper blooms “hot pink” and mini paper blooms “hot pink” and "honey"},

 pearls {KAISERCRAFT pearl embellishments rose and chocolate – because of the different size of the pearls, you can create any shape you like with them!} and glitter glue to finish off my design. 

for the title i used a canvas alphabet stickers from PRIMA marketing.
