March Inspiration With Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today to share some layouts created with the new Courtship Lane collection.  I had so much fun creating with the new papers.

-Reminisce-

 My first layout features the Lovers Lane paper.  Love the details and colors.  I used the Calling Cards paper to layer under the photo of my grandparents. I added some masking and paint splatters to the background paper along with misting using the Imagine Ink Cotton Candy Mist and stamping with the Arcadia Textures stamp.

I used three pieces of chipboard here.  The Poppies Collage under my photo and Bits Of Honey on each side of the photo and Chelsea Vines tucked in my flower clusters.  I embossed the Poppies Collage and Bits of Honey with a mixture of Ginger, Oatmeal and Cotton Candy embossing powders and  added some Dusty Rose  and Fools Gold Glitter.  The Chelsea Vines were embossed with Sage and Verdant and sprinkled with some Peridot glitter.

My title Reminisce is from the Serendipity Words 2.  I inked it with brown ink and randomly embossed with Ginger, Oatmeal and Cotton Candy embossing powers.  I love the aged effect.

I used a mixture of the Lilac and Mystic Plum embossing powders and dusty Rose Glitter on the word Happy from the Laughter, Happy, Smile chipboard set.  I lightly added some Dusty Rose Glitter on the flowers.



On each side of my picture I used the Persian Ornament chipboard which I embossed using the Lilac and Mystic Plum embossing powders.  


On the right side I used the Whimsy Flourish chipboard, embossed with the Lilac and Mystic Plum embossing powders.
