~ ~ ~ ~ ~

 

Welcome Welcome to the
Petaloo and Simple Stories Blog Hop!

I was sooo inspired by the DT package
I received, I created 2 projects.

I thought I would do something a bit different
and create a layout.
But it just wouldn't be me to not
add a bit of texture medium and paint...

 

I began by "mapping" out where I wanted
my "path" of texture medium to go
and applied it through my stencil
onto Simple Stories ~ Dig It 
from the Bloom & Grow Collection.

 

When dry, I applied a diluted mixture
of pink paint to my
"rocks" to create depth and to tie them
in with my "pink" theme.

I just LOVE the photo I chose to use
for my layout,
 of my daughter and I on Mother's Day
and the words on one of 
Simple Stories ~ Bloom & Grow
3 x 4 Journaling Cards
matched PERFECTLY!

How cute are the 
chipboard and sticker banner??

I had so much fun integrating the 
chipboard and sticker elements
with my flower cluster which was filled with
Petaloo Blooms
Garden Rosettes x 6 Canvas ~ Pink
Cherry Blossoms x 24 ~ Blush
Petites x 24 ~ Spice and Green
Botanica Mini's ~ White
Flowering Pick ~ Black Berry
Calla Lily Cluster ~ White
Baby's Breath Pick ~ White

For my second project I created a card.

I used the same technique 
of applying the texture medium to my card face.

Once again, I applied diluted paint to
my stone path.

I splattered the paint onto the card face.

I cut up the leftover chipboard and
applied it to my "Happy" sticker.

Here are a few close ups!

I hope you have enjoyed my creations
using the incredible
Simple Stories ~ Bloom and Grow
and the
Petaloo Blooms!!
