FabScraps French Heritage Collection - Angel Hope Dreams & Wishes

FabScraps French Heritage Collection  (get your collection here)

FabScraps newest collection, French Heritage, is dripping with charm, warmth and spectacular florals. The collection has accompanying chipboard and diecuts that make this whole set spectacular. 

Below is an image of the collection papers and die cuts.    The die cuts are cool because they are meant to be used with the chipboard if one desires - as a sort of chipboard covering. 

I created a soft layout in keeping with the softness of  the papers. If you scroll down, you will see easy step by step instructions to complete this project. 

My chipboard words, Dreams & Wishes was embossed with fine white embossing power but it looks a little aged because I did not paint the chipboard first.  I just embossed right over neked chipboard. 

Here I have added Prima Marketing flowers for my finishing touch.

Thanks for stopping for a look.   Visit FabScraps blog and Facebook page for all the new releases.
