Graphic 45 Secret Garden on our back porch

 

Using this above sketch offered this "recipe" which is the March Double Layout challenge on A Cherry On Top. Just a note, it was not good for papers like mine that had writing or a certain direction. I made it work nonetheless. I hope you, too, will try it!! I actually made the photos AFTER making the layout because of the title.

Waffle Flower Snow Flake Cluster card

 

For this card, I used a new die from Waffle Flower called Snowflake Cluster. The die itself cut beautifully and I used the arrangement of the snowflakes as a perfect backdrop for the verse. I did cut one of the snowflakes away from the cluster to use later. The bg was made with Distress Oxide inks and splattered with Caribbean Blue Tattered Angels spray to add dimension and shimmer. Love all of the sparkle and shine. I added the Pinkfresh Studio Birthday Balloon Washi tape, die cut, and stamp set to finish the winter birthday theme.

Vintage Valentine #2

 

Hand drawn white paper to shadow the red doily, then fussy cut it out twice for both Valentines. There is a tiny doily cut in half and placed on either side of the center. The red frame was also fussy cut out of the ephemera and placed centered. The cut a part is from a 12x12 Authentique Papers Be Lovely. I made this to use individually like a bookmark. Enjoy!
