Thrilled almost beyond words! Check out the Hero Arts blog :)
My scrapbook page made the winners list!! And check out the fabulous winning card by Lousette Ashton - wow or what?! Congrats Lousette.
I used a lot less patterned paper than I usually do, which was a huge challenge for me!
Products used:
Patterned paper - Prima, K&Co and My Minds Eye
Plain cardstock - Bazzill
Metal frame, metal rimmed tag - Making Memories
Brads - HOTP, Queen & Co, Autumn Leaves
Adhesive crystals - Papermania
Stamps - Hero Arts (Thoughtful Messages, All Occasion Messages, Dolls, Hello Birdie and A3321 Cherish and S1838 Florentine Scroll Background (both older stamps)
Inks - Ranger, Versamark, ColorBox
Clear Embossing powder
Butterfly punch
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder
Brief how to:
Cut part bracket shape from subtly patterned cardstock (I used a piece of Crate Paper as a template). Stamp swirl background with Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Cut patterned paper to size and attach photo.
Place both these pieces onto kraft cardstock, leaving equal margins.
Stamp scallop border onto blue cardstock and emboss with white embossing powder. Cut to shape and layer two slightly different lengths to hide the join between the patterned paper and stamped bracket shape.
Stamp sentiments (or journal) around the edge of the kraft cardstock, adding gems for detail.
Layer onto green cardstock then teal cardstock (both colours tie in with the patterned paper).
Stamp the scalloped frame onto two pieces of cardstock. Punch out using a scalloped circle. Layer punched circles over the centres.
Add a stamped sentiment to the centre of one (dotting the 'j' with a gem). Stamp an oversized brad and set with embossing powder (I heated the brad after stamping, sprinkled with embossing powder then heated again). Attach slightly offset to the second layered flower.
Handcut stems and leaves from cardstock, attach to the page and zigzag stitch over for interest. Attach the stamped and layered flowers.
Punch out a small butterfly from green cardstock (to match the photo corners and create a small visual triangle of that colour) and stamp with a teal ink. Attach to page and add a gem to the body.
Create two large photo corners. I used a green coloured metal frame by Making Memories cut down. Emboss using embossing folder and sand to define the embossed pattern. Attach to the page.
Gut a small metal rimmed tag and attach patterned paper to the back. Stamp with a small image and hang from the bottom photo corner. Add the other two brads.
