A Few More April Flower Pretties from Embellish-Online

Here are a few more of my April projects for Embellish-Online. Our theme was "A Change in Time - April Flowers." I have to say that this combo of BG Porcelain and Prima Flirty Little Secret Lines make such a beautiful shabby chic combo! You can get both these paper lines and all these Prima flowers I've used at the Embellish-Online store.

I dug in deep and used a lot of embellies in my own stash that I've been hoarding to add to these babies this month because I thought they were perfect with this combo of papers.

Here's a card I made. Yeah, I'm still in love with my SU Top Note Die, can you tell? I had another bird cage cut out so this is how it all came together. I used some hand dyed (by the wonderful Elizabeth Tuch, owner of Scrap 'N Yap, my lss) 7 Gypsies silk ribbons to give it a very fragile feel to this card.


I couldn't help myself but I re-purposed another one of those Prima packaging tags and made another tag card. This time, I was inspired by an upcoming blessed event in my family, the impending birth of my niece, my family's first grandchild.

The stamp is Paper Inspirations, one of my favorite rubber stamp companies! I stamped it on one of the BG Procelain tie dyed patterned papers, and then colored in parts of the image with my chalk pencils. I mounted that on another BG Porcelain patterned papers, and popped it on foam dots onto the Prima Flirty Little Secrets Shimmer PP for some dimension. That luscious looking Prima paper was actually the diecut left over from my previous card pictured above. That paper is soooo rich with texture and color that I really have a hard time throwing ANY bit of it away. (Plus, its really expensive paper!)

Anyway, I added tons of embellies from my own stash, i.e. the blue flowers are Petaloo, the hand dyed silk ribbons, bits of tulle, stickers, etc.


I'll have one more project to share with you tomorrow as its going to be a Friday, and Fridays are our Friday Challenges at Embellish-Online.
