February Inspiration by Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today.  I have 3 layouts to share that I created with the Blush and Timeless paper collections, along another one featuring the new Serendipity paper collection.  Lots to share so this will be a lengthy post.  The new Serendipity collection was introduced  last month along with new chipboard, glitter and embossing powders.  Here is what I created with the Serendipity papers.

Serendipity is a gorgeous collection!  Love the vintage look, details and colors.  Here I've used the Chronicle paper for my background.  I applied some masking, misting using the Imagine Ink Sky and Winter Mint Mists along with the Arcadia Textures and Romantic Accent stamps and paint splatters. I used the Reminisce and Calling Cards papers to layer under my photo.

I used two chipboard pieces here.  The new Swan Gate along with the Swirly Circle.  Both were embossed with Oatmeal and Sea Mist embossing powders.  I then randomly added some paint and micro beads.

My title Dream Big is from The Optimist Word Set.  I first painted the words and then sprinkled on some Cranberry Glitter.

The next layout was created using the Blush Collection.

The background paper is Key To My Heart.  The colors and details on the paper are beautiful! I applied masking, misting with Imagine Ink Cotton Candy Mist, stamping with Romantic Accents and Texture Circles to the background.  Layers of papers under my photo include Callings Cards and Cupids Folly.

The True Romance chipboard was embossed with a mixture of  Pearl and Cotton Candy embossing powders, then lightly stamped with the Romantic Accents stamp.  I used the Floral Heats chipboard which I cut apart and embossed with Cotton Candy and added pink paint.  The flowers from the Floral Hearts are placed randomly on my layout.

Both sides of the photo include pieces of the Floral Hearts chipboard and Turkish Bits chipboard which I colored with gelatos and misted with Imagine Ink Persimmon Mist.

My final two layouts were created with the vintage Timeless collection.

My background paper is Song "Side B".  Lots of masking, misting and stamping using the Arcadia Textures, Forever, Romantic Accents, Shabby Edges and Vintage Edges stamps along with some embossing with Honey and Sage Imagine Ink Embossing Powders.  Lots of layering under a treasured photo, my dad on the right using Keepsakes and Calling Cards paper.

I used the Chelsea Medallion and Damask Panel  chipboard which I embossed with Oatmeal and Sage embossing powders.

The butterfly was cut from the Papillions paper and embossed with the Honey and Sage embossing powders.

The Tattered Butterfly chipboard was embossed with Iris, Pearl and Buttercup embossing powders.

Beneath my flower clusters I used the Blooming Foliage chipboard which I covered with some brown texture paste and added some Pyrite Glitter.

The title Timeless was embossed with Iris, Pearl and Buttercup embossing powders and lightly stamped.
