Tattered Angels' - White Washed Pine

I have totally fallen in love with the new Tattered Angels' Naturally Aged Paint System Kits. I have been using them on EVERYTHING lately, as you can tell from my last few posts. I'm totally in LOVE! I haven't been this excited about a medium in ages!

Today's project is using these two kits:

You guys know I love to make cards from my scraps. I had a couple of inches of the grey Maya Road trim, the perfect amount to make a dress. So I pulled out my Tattered Angels Naturally Aged Fine Wood Paint System Kits-White Washed Pine to paint the cardstock used with Tim Holtz Sewing Room dress form. I love how the grey in the trim pulls out the grey in the paint kit.

Prima's Tea Thyme paper offered the perfect shabby chic background for this dress form. I also had small pieces of flowers that were remnants from previous projects and clustered them around the dress form to offer the look of a garden view.

The butterfly was cut from a scrap tag that had the Tattered Angles' Naturally Aged Precious Stone Paint System Kits-Turquoise. The rich colors and variegated effects from the glazes and sprays offer the perfect texture for the butterfly.

Finally a Martha Stewart frame was used to capture the sentiment on this card.

I'm having so much fun playing with these paint systems.

Thanks for stopping in today,

Prima - Tea Thyme Layout

I'm really excited today to share with you a layout I created of my sweet angel niece Addie. We bumped into her and her daddy at dinner the other night, and this was her leaning over the seat to talk to Brighton and I. She is just so sweet.

I used the Prima Tea Thyme collection for this layout.

The Tea Thyme paper is so feminine and offers the perfect backdrop for little Addie's smiling face. I love layering 6x6 papers to create 12x12 layouts. The smaller papers offer a nice frame and draw your eye to the photo. Some vintage and new Prima flowers were used to create the spray, and the wooden Tea Thyme pieces offer great texture.

Most of the supplies used in this layout are available for purchase at FlamingoScraps.com. Flamingo Scraps has graciously offered me a coupon code to extend to my followers for 50% off your Prima order between now and Dec. 25, 2012. Below is the coupon with the details.

Nov. Bap Challenge Layout

I'm having a lot of fun following along with the Prima BAP challenges. I was too busy in October to participate, so I decided to tackle this one early on.

I created this layout using the Prima Tea Thyme - Linsey paper.

Layers and Layers of Prima goodness are all over the layout. I started by cutting a whole in the center of the paper, rolling it back then placing one of the journaling frames on top of the rolled paper. I backed the hole with a piece of scrap Almanac paper. I cut a strip of hexagons from a My Favorite Things Hexagon die and used it as a stencil for the the gesso. This helped to tone down the busy pattern of the paper. I then cut more the hexagons from the richer brown Marcella paper in the same collection. The Prima journal cards helped to call attention to the small photo and draw your eye back to the center of the layout.
