Flirty Pages

I am so excited for my Stampin' Ladies to come over Friday night and crop these fabulous Flirty papers with me! I combined the Flirty Workshop On The Go with the Pixie Glitter Alphabet and Sparkle Flourishes for these floral packed pages. 

These first two pages are based on the CTMH instruction brochure included in the WOTG package, with a few twists, like adding Cricut cut flowers to the Dimensional Elements Tree included in the kit! I love forming these tiny flowers using my piercing tool kit. I flip the mat over and used the back, rounded end of the tool to form the simple flat flowers into rounded buttercup shapes!

The second set of pages was inspired by these pages by the fabulous Dana Kessler. I love how she stacked the dandelion image in the corners. I added a bit of glitter glitz to each flower, smudging the dots with my finger for a softer effect. 

The Pixie Glitter Alpha letters were super easy to position using my tweezers. I also extended my bitty sparkle stash by using leftover sections of the Flourishes. I popped off the excess sparkles from the flourish and applied them here with my Tweezers and Liquid Glass.

Page 5/6 is my favorite set I think. Each little banner is formed by rolling them on the handle of my piercing tool. I still cut apart the flourishes, though I did keep them relatively intact. I even built myself an extra "o" from a "q" and some exclamation points from the "j"s! 

I've been wanting to incorporate the formed flowers into a layout for a while, and this layout seems like the right spot. The Flirty Raspberry flowers pop against that background of Dakota Wood Grain! 

I'm sharing these pages on Make It Monday at An Original Belle - got check out the awesome collection of art and recipes!

Last chance to enter my NEW PAPER giveaway - winner to be announce on Friday! 

Thanks for popping by!

You're Sweet, Retro Sketches!

I'm back with another Pun Fun card, this time for the new Retro Sketches card sketch, which is adorable!  I used the Wood Grain B&T from the new Dakota packet, which is also what we are using for scrapbook club next month. My beloved Silver Shimmer Trim is back, only this time I cut it in half lengthwise to create the double skinny stripes. I also used the Shimmer Trim to back my little sentiment banner flag. Aaaaand tonight I ordered up more of this Slate Satin Polka Dot Ribbon as I can see it is now an addiction. I stitched all around the outside with a single strand of pink thread.

I paper pieced the cuppie using the pink B&T from La Belle Vie and the Flirty Raspberry CS only available in the Flirty paper packet. This sweet cuppie is stamped in the new Slate color, and topped with Sparkles that have been colored with a Cotton Candy Alcohol Marker. Look at the top pics to see how the sparkles turned such a lovely shade of pink - I think I bumped up the highlights on this one trying to get the B&T of the "frosting" to show nicely and washed out the sparkles. I LOVE that I can color my sparkles and embellies with my lovely new markers and customize them to match perfectly!
