Fussy cut flowers

I'm still loving all the splatters and enamel and nuvo dots clusters.

 And that tag on the bow will make one swoon.

 I wanted a subtitle because in the photo Ms Annie is totally cracking up.

 Yes they are in a sunflower field, and yes I finally used

a stamp I had forever and they are black eyed susies.

(In my defense, they do look similar.)

Its a declassified stamp and actually if you use the entire thing

looks like a seed package.

I stamped a bunch mostly because I had issues stamping.

I know you're surprised.

It did come in handy because I watercolored them all

and once I laid them on the page I knew I'd need them all.

 Again with the doily grounding and using watercolors

and the packaging technique and also

remembering to splatter said colors about.

 I adore the flower column (for lack of better word).

The background paper is Basic Grey and just worked out perfectly.

I made the tag and its actually tucked into a 

kraft paper bag.

The title is made with QK lemonade cookie cutter font.

Really Big Banners

I have been wanting to use that "plot twist" since I first

laid eyes on it. It was a PL card I cut down and

its perfect for this photo.

 I layered some papers behind the photo and used my "ripped

paper" punch that I really love.

 See what I mean?

Perfect.

I really loved this gold paper and that blue

really goes well with it.

I know!

Surprised me too.

I did use some other colors to bring it all together

and since those banners are over the top

I really didn't want a lot more on the page- so a

few stars and homemade enamel dots 

were perfect.

And doodling around the page was fun.

Basic Grey, Studio Calico PL cards, the title is

 from M's $1.50 bin.

Sweet girl

This page evolved because I bought a new punch - the honeycombed punch by Fiskars.

Love it.

From one of my Studio Calico kits I encountered this hombre colored paper and decided I'd give the ole dump some gesso on it and roll my SC stamp roller through it.

Again.

Worked out pretty good this time beause I didn't dump half a bottle of gesso on it. (you can see my adventures here and inspiration here).

I also purchased some Dear Lizzy chipboard shapes and of course they worked perfectly. And I used the same moss colored vellum paper too. Don't you find you use the same materials?

I put it all toghether and than I had to do something with that gap - so it became a perfect spot for the title. Took me awhile to think of the title - I know. Impressive right??? Geez! LOL!

Anyway I'm really happy and its soooo girly girl. I have another girly girl page in the wings. Waiting on a girly girl photo.

Its gonna be awhile.  :|
