So let's get the party started with our Petaloo DT member ... Lynne Forsythe
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
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!!

Love how the design goes from one

The card is exquisite. Love the clouds.
