living in color

 Happy Heartfelt Creations Wednesday!
 **9/9/11**

This is the second of the two layouts I created for my design team finalist submissions.
I created this one using the beautiful Daisy Patch Flowers Precut Set and matching Spellbinders Daisy Patch Precut Die for the flowers. The leaves were created using another beautiful set  Leafy Swirls Precut Set. Some of my favorite leaf collections from Heartfelt Creations!

These flower stamps are so versatile the possibilities are endless! I layered my set in all different sizes on this layout for light hearted scattering of flowers look. They were misted with a beautiful pink Glimmer Mist and have lots of sparkle in real life.

This is a photo of my dd. Such a great look captured on her face!  Just being silly hanging out in her room giving in to giggle fits. That's the best thing about little girls. The giggles! They get them so often and over such nonsensical things! The magic of being a child.
I love this Prima Anna Lee Collection. I kept this layout pretty simple (for me) and added some punched strips to compliment the florals. (photography credit- Gina Coppolino)

Products used on this project:

Daisy Patch Die (HCD 703)

Daisy Patch Flowers Precut Set (HC3318)

Leafy Swirls Precut Set (HCPC 2254)

Instructions

Using your favorite edge punch, punch around a 12 x 12 piece of pattern paper. Adhere to coordinating cardstock.

Select another edge punch and punch one side of a coordinating piece of pattern paper. Trim down the edges so the final result is slightly smaller than your background paper. Ink all the edges with chalk ink color of your choice. Adhere 3/4 way down the page. Using another coordinating sheet of pattern paper cut to size a few inches larger than your photo. Edge punch with a third punch and place beneath photo as a mat. Use a double edge punch to create a whimsical strip to place on the horizontal of the page. I used a butterfly punch for my layout. Adhere to background and place matted photo over it and adhere that as well. Select some lace and glue that down over your punched border strip. Punch a strip from a smaller size edge punch and cut it down to about 3 inches. Place it in the upper left corner of the page. Using the Daisy Patch Flowers Precut Set (HC3318)  and Daisy Patch Die (HCD 703) Cut appoximately 18 flowers in varying sizes from the collection. Stamp the flower, ink the edges with your choice of inks ( I used a pink chalk ink) Mist the flowers with glimmer mist, heat dry and layer them to your taste. Place largest flower cluster in left corner of the photo. Place a smaller flower cluster in the right corner of the photo and at the top left side of the page. Scatter remaining flowers on the page, balancing the look and layering to your liking. Place a rhinestone in the center of the flowers. Ink your alphabet in a chalk ink of your choice and adhere to center left of page. Stamp 5 small leaves and 1 medium leaf from the Leafy Swirls Precut Set (HCPC 2254) Using a soft green liquid pearl paint dab on the leaves and smooth out with a brush.

Tuck leaves beneath flowers and adhere both to page.
