Tsunami Rose Challenge 35# - Anything Goes


Hi everyone I hope that you are all well and happy! welcome once again to my little bit of blogland .
Its challenge time over at Tsunami Rose and I have had some scrummy papers and elements to work with from the Life Abloom printable journal kit. They really are gorgeous and as always very very versatile. So I have to share with you a Journal page that I have created for my daughter and fully intend to be creating more pages from the kit to compliment the page and hanging that I have already made.



Goodies Used
 
Base: A4 card covered with an A4 printable sheet from the Life Abloom collection, I had printed off 2 sheets and cut one in half concertina folded the edges and attached to the base using double sided tape.
Sentiment: From the Life Abloom collection I mounted onto some white card and coloured the edge with gold promarker.
Embellishments: Lace, ribbon, self adhesive pearls and flowers are all from my stash.
Envelope wallet: From the Life Abloom collection that I embellished with a chipboard B that I coloured with gold promarker and attached it with tacky glue. I then added some of the same lace used on the base and ribbon from my stash.
 
This kit really is stunning and gorgeous to work with.
Thank you everyone for entering the challenges over at Tsunami Rose we love seeing what you create for us so why not pop over and enter the new challenge for your chance to win one of the amazing prizes that are on offer.

Tsunami Rose - Life Abloom New full size printable Journal kit

Hi everyone I hope that you are all well and happy . Welcome to my little bit of blogland . Today I would like to share with you a wall hanging that I have created for my daughter using the Life Abloom full size printable journal kit . We have been very lucky on the design team to be given such gorgeous papers to work with, they really are gorgeous and incredibly versatile .
Here is the wall hanging and I hope that you like it.
 



Goodies used
Base: I cut a piece of A4 card from a box and added to that a piece of A4 200gsm smooth card, next I attached using tacky glue one of the A4 printable sheets from the Life Abloom printable journal kit, I chose this sheet in particular because of the lovely space in the centre of the page which enabled me to add the Daughter to the page. I have also popped onto the bottom right corner rose spray a little purple gel pen to highlight the rose spay a little.
Daughter: Chipboard letters sprayed with Dylusions shimmer spray in fuschia which I added across the page using tacky glue.
Embellishments: A selection of flowers, feathers and pearls from my stash formed the flower arrangement in the bottom left corner. 3 lengths of 10mm organza ribbon in pinks formed the bow above the lettering and I have also added some self adhesive pearls to the corners.
Sentiment: From the Life Abloom kit. I have added a little of the same purple gel pen I used on the rose spray around the edge of it.
This kit is absolutely gorgeous a pleasure to use and I feel is a must for any crafter as it is so versatile ,to be honest it has my head buzzing with ideas for its uses!
