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
corner to the opposite corner on the layout. Very pretty.
The card is exquisite. Love the clouds.
thanks for sharing.

What fabulous creations, Lynne! I love the river rock stencil and how you used it on both your wonderful layout and card!! The flowers look amazing with this paper collection (as well as the other one) and it all coordinates so beautifully together! thanks for a wonderful week of fun and fantastic inspiration from you team and from the SS ladies too! It's been most enjoyable!! :)
