Prima and Pink Paislee as a Tag Team with the Color Wash Collection

Prima and Pink Paislee are having a whole lot of fun together as a perfect match. 

Prima Marketing and Pink Paislee have paired up products for some added fun. Today we feature some wonderful embellishments from Prima to coordinate with Pink Paislee's Color Wash collection: light, breezy, soft,  like a splash of water color on the page with Prima products to make it pop. 

 I really love the Pink Paislee pastels because they have a calming effect on me. These are pastel perfection when mixed with the softness of Prima embellishments.  They make a spectacular pairing.

The Prima Team decided to make some tags with a theme of "Watercolor Fun". 

You can find the fun on Social Media using these hashtags: #watercolorfun and #primapinkpaisleswap

I used a whole lot of Prima embellishments as accents: 

 Prima Resins Butterflies, Prima Say It In Crystals mini  pearl flourishes, Prima Wood Icon Embellishments -Words, Prima Soubrette White Flowers, and Prima Delight Brads. 

I decided to keep the wood embellishments natural with no ink or mist.  They look very delicate that way on my tag.

The seam binding used at the top of the tag as well as the ribbon at the bottom were both misted with Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mist  in Blush - from Pink Paislee.  Why the difference in color ?  The seam binding at the top was a cream color which resulted in a cream-sickle orange.  YUM.  

The orange pulls out the color from the Pink Paislee Color Wash Vellum Banners.

Scraps Of Elegance -January Reveal "A Dream Within A Dream"

Welcome to the Scraps of Elegance January release, A Dream Within A Dream.

Dreamy indeed when you pair 13 Arts Papers with FabScraps, toss in some unique handcrafted establishments by ReneaBouquet and  a host of heavenly goodies.  Melinda is the leading expert in the industry for assembling a gorgeous kit dripping with elegance.

Little Girl on a Walk

This piece uses the monthly design by Charlotte Jenkins, also know in the scrap world as the talented suepup.  Each month, Scraps of Elegance runs a sketch challenge based on the designs by Charlotte.  Please consider checking them out and playing along.  

This piece uses the rich royal papers from FabScraps -Enchanted Gardens Collection - Blue Heron and Blue Heron 2.  Gorgeous indeed. 

I accentuated the Blue Heron by slicing his wing and lifting it up and adding some rich brown feathers under it.  I coated the entire bird with Crackle Accents, the sprinkled some teal colored micro beads while the Crackle Accents was wet. 

The image is a painting by  John George Brown 1913 form the Suzee Q flicker share site. 

Valentine Canvas

As the title says, this is a canvas. I've decided that canvas' are tons of fun to create.  This one was simple.  I dumped out the box of Pink Paislee  hearts  and scattered them on my canvas to see what if would look like if I was carefree.  I liked the results so it went from there and I did the same thing with the Prima Interlude Pink flowers.  Fun, simple easy.   

The sparkly glitter in the background is Stampendous Frantage Shaved Ice.  It's like chunky  mica flakes - iridescent in appearance so it picks up some of the pink on my background. 

I did add a thin layer of molding paste to my canvas before I started so that the colors of the mist would set well.    

Cherub Angel All Dressed up ( Featured at 13 Arts Blog)

The cupid is from an old postcard.  I thought it needed a flowing gown so I created one with cheesecloth gauze.   Cheesecloth is one of those essentials that can be bought at a number of places from the hardware store (paint department), to the grocery store (baking department), to the fabric store (sold by the yard and also prepackaged in notions section).   Of course you can buy from a craft and hobby store, but your best economic buy may be from a more creative place.  

I used the divinely inspired 13 Arts Frosted Life collection straight from Poland.  Oh my goodness is this spectacular paper.  This piece uses Moon Dust and Cold Wall. 

I also grabbed the handcrafted butterflies by ReneaBouquets  ( Renea Harrison) to adorn my angel. 

The chipboard piece frame is from Blue Fern Studios (Blue Fern Frame) that is no longer a frame after I cut it up and decided it made great angel wings.

Lil Darlin in White - Scraps of Elegance April Kit

Lil Darlin in White - This is a layout I made with the April Scraps Of Elegance Kit. 

For this layout, I used papers from the Pink Paislee Spring Jubilee collection.  They are pretty, feminine and soft, just what I needed for this photo I took in Sept 2011.  Isn't she a doll? 

The kit came with this really interesting pink foil ribbon like little banners so I took advantage of it and used it for a few accents. 

The butterfly was part of the Pink Paislee paper that I felt needed a bit of a boost  to the spotlight because it was so pretty. I simply cut it out with my craft knife, set a small doily over it and then replced it in the same spot it was originally on the paper.   It did get some Prima Say it in pearls bling - lucky little butterfly.  

Thanks for looking. Please consider the Scraps of Elegance Kit.
