What A Beautiful Mess: 49 and Market "Cherish Moments"

Hello beautiful friends! Sometimes I just want to create a page that screams French Vintage. Small floral bouquets mixed with a little bit of texture, and just a feeling that is light and airy. I achieved this with the new 49 and Market Bold and Beautiful collection and mixed a couple of different flower packages to create my floral clusters. The background was textured using crackle texture paste and a Finnabair Swirly Florals stencil, then used Lindys Stamp Gang colors in Alpine Ice Rose starburst spray and Starburst colorshot in Yellow Rose of Texas, to bring out the beautiful colors in the flowers. I fussy cut around the flowers in Writings on the Wall paper and layered it over To the Point paper, popping it off of the page with corrugated cardboard.

I layered all of the flowers and embellishments on top of a Sizzix Alterations Distressed Doily die that I cut from a piece of scrap left over from the paper I fussy cut. I then placed the whole cluster on the edge of the page.

I used the Laser Cut frame for my photo, and layered it with various Archival board that I heat embossed with a soft pink embossing powder. I then created a small floral cluster for the corner mixing Laser Cut flowers with a paper flower and a stamp from the Bold and Beautiful Laser Cut pack.

The tiny Archival butterflies were painted yellow and added to the cluster, and it was all topped off with a digital butterfly from a collection I created. The butterflies were printed out on white cardstock. and cut out. I added some dots, covered the whole butterfly with 3D Crystal Lacquer, and while the lacquer was still wet, I dipped the bottom portion in Twinklets Diamond Dust

for added sparkle. Crystal Lacquer is water based and non toxic.
