and here is what i've prepared for you today -

"GARDEN FAIRY"

i'm also GUEST designer this month at BERRY71BLUE.

i used the very vintage PRIMA markeing stitched papers, flowers from PRIMA and bloomers from WEBSTER'S PAGES and of course the amazing ZVA CREATIVE olive/lime swirls and rhinestone leaves.

to embellish my layout i used ZVA creative "flourish lime/olive crystal"...

... and ZVA creative "imagine - olive/lime crystal" leaves. i really loved working with this sparkly swirly leaves, because the design is so versatile and you can arrange them any way you like!

i used a lot of different PRIMA marketing resist canvas die cuts, which i coloured with TIM HOLTZ "crushed olive" distress ink.

for my title i used PRIMA's canvas alphabet stickers brown.

the pretty green flowers and all the roses are from PRIMA marketing. the large ribbon bloomers are from WEBSTER'S PAGES - i believe that they compliment each other perfectly on my page. 

as i mentioned above, i used PRIMA marketing stitched paper for my layout. to create the design around my picture, i carefully fussy cut the stitched frame and added a few layers of PRIMA journalling cards under it.

for the hearts i used left overs mulberry paper {from the middle of the frame]. i stamped the vintage pattern with SOMETHING TATTERED "parlor vintage wallpaper" background stamp and VERSAMARK ink, and then i heat embossed the paper using SPARKLE N SPRINKLE "sage" embossing powder.

after the paper has cooled down, i die cut the hearts using TIM HOLTZ movers and shapers "mini hearts set" die. i layered them with 3d tape and added a stripe of ZVA creative basic lines crystal - clear 0.2cm in the middle of the small heart.

if you would like to play along with our design team, just follow along the blog path. 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!
