I'm so glad spring is here, aren't you? For my next downline meeting, we are doing a 12x12" scrapbook page swap, and the theme is seasons of the year. Obviously you have guessed which season I am working on... I created this 2-page spread using Apricot Appeal card stock as the base, Gable Green strips for the grass, and Soft Sky Designer Series Paper and Regal Rose for the side wave panels.
I wanted to showcase chipboard with these pages, since in May, customers can purchase Stampin' up! chipboard for 25% off with a $35 order. I used flowers from the On Board Blossoms & Basics chip board collection. I covered the flowers in craft ink (Almost Amethyst and Regal Rose) and embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. The other flowers were created with the Baroque Motifs stamp set, 1 3/8" circle punch, Scallop Punch and Square Ice rhinestone brads. I used the Big Deal Alphabet for the words in various ink colors: Regal Rose, Soft Sky, Apricot Appeal, Gable Green and Almost Amethyst. See close up pictures below.
