Heartbreaker

I'm using the beautiful papers by My Minds Eye which were in our September kit by Swirlydoos!
For inspiration I have used a sketch by Helen Croft over at scrap-a-little-sketches. She is awesome! Her work, sketches and flower tutorials are great! Check her out if you haven't already.
I have a beautiful corner rose flower vine made by my swirlydoos sista Angelica. I picked up that little beauty in her etsy shop. The chandelier is a stamp that I cut out and used as an embellie.  The title I cut out on my Silhouette! I wish I had more time to play with that machine. There is just so much to explore there!  The black leave vines are metal. I used a sizzix die and ran the metal thru my cuttlebug. Lastly some stitching and little pse editing!

Another Acrylic Piece

This 12x12 artisan shape acrylic came in our Swirlydoos kit this month! I decided to try another version of using acrylic and used a layer of paper on the background. I actually glued the background to cardboard and then lifted the acrylic off the background with several foam mount dots. I think I am going to frame this piece and hang it rather than book it. :)

I used red smooch ink on the acrylic and inked the edges in black. I used one rub on near the flowers at the top of the page. The papers are from the Mon Amour kit this month. I also used a Dusty attic piece that came in the kit. I made the little striped flowers and the leaves were a digital stamp that I printed and colored with red. I had that leathery ribbon on hand and used that for my bow!
The fabulous photo  was taken by my friend Gina (Gina Coppolino Photography)

Be Happy

One more today from the September Swirlydoos kit!
This one is for Angelica's Butterfly Challenge. I used this weeks sketch from Sketchy Thursdays
as inspiration for this layout.

Beautiful MME Lost and Found and some CI mixed in. The large mixed flower is a prima and the smaller roses came in this months kit. Used my DA chandelier and TH fragments that I inked with alcohol ink in cranberry. There is a bird under the fragments that is not showing up well in this photo.
I also printed the butterflies on transparency paper.
