friday...AWDML January 15 Reveal-Paper Smooches (2/4)

Happy Friday bloggers! Today I have another project featuring Paper Smooches stamps!

This month's featured manufacturers at A Walk Down Memory Lane are Authentique and Paper Smooches. This means that this whole month  Authentique and Paper Smooches products are 25% off over at the AWDML store! Now, this is my first time working with both manufacturers and I have to say that I love them both! Authentique papers are amazing-great thickness (for distressing), awesome patterns and amazing colors! Paper Smooches has great clear stamps and their alphabets fonts are great!

Here's the layout that I made:


Supplies-
cardstock: Bazzill, DCWV;
patterned paper: Paper Pizazz, Glitz Designs, Authentique Gathering 6x6 Paper Pads;
bling: Prima rhinestone swirls;
flowers: Prima, Recollections;
glitter: Ranger Stickles (Diamond);
ink: StatzOn Jet Black;
stamp: Paper Smooches Acrylic Stamp Alphadot;
pens: Ranger Opaque White pen;
tools: Spellbinders Rose Creations die, Ranger Tim Holtz Paper Distresser, Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page (scallop 3 dot, doily lace), Cuttlebug Machine, Cuttlebug 2X6 Nature & Texture dies;
other: doily, lace, flowers and rhinestones from stash, sewing machine



This layout is based on my own sketch for Creative Scrappers, sketch #190, seen below:


Instead of one picture I used three 3"x4" pictures of my aunt's birthday party last year. I pulled the colors from her shirt and made the layout mostly purple (Glitz Design and Paper Pizazz paper), black and white. I water distressed the edges and inked them.


I used the Paper Smooches Alphabet Stamp (Alphadot) to make my title. I stamped each letter leaving a little bit of space between each one, cut them all apart and matted them unto black cardstock. I finished by adding a white doodled line around the edges to make them stand out. I used the corner punch from the Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Scallop 3 Dot punch to make my black doily. (If you need a tutorial, Lisa has a great video tutorial on Swirlydoos!) I wanted it to pop so I decided to run a zig zag machine stitch all around the circle and I love how it turned out!


Of course I made a flower cluster! I used mostly old Primas and Recollection but also included other flowers that I've had in my stash for too many years! I did hand make one though. I just had to!


I made a big purple/black rose and added stickles to the edges and placed it on the center of the cluster. I die cut a few leaves and butterflies to add to the cluster too.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
