Petaloo

Oodles of Doodles

If you are playing along with the SWIRLYDOOS Blog Hop Block party...then you are in the right place!

First, take a peek at Lisa Valentine's wonderful projects for Spring with our new Petaloo Floradoodles!

 

I picked up this little lavender wreath for a few dollars at Micheal's and new exactly what I wanted to do with it.

Have you seen Petaloo's new chipboard pieces???  Have ya??  You have now!  I painted the butterflies with some Shimmerz and then embossed them with Ranger's Bridal Embossing Powder.  I embellished them with pearls and some of Petaloo's Feathers!!  Yum......

The flowers are Flora Doodles that I combined to create little colorful magnolias.  Suh-weet!

THEN, I found myself inspired by a vintage stock photo I found.  I looked at the picture....looked at the bright and springy Flora Doodles....looked back at the picture and heard the theme to Hawaii Five 0 in my head (and visions of a shirtless Alex O'loughlin). *walkin' it off*  I knew that I wanted to create a 1950's style card with art deco colors and a tropical feel.

OK, this really isn't my normal style, but every once in a while you just have to let loose and do something different.

Flora Doodles Tye-Dyed Gypsies are too cute and absolutely perfect for the look I was going for.  I topped them off with a Bird Dazzler.

That cute little frame is part of Petaloo's new chipboard collection.

Thank you for stopping by!
