Spring Flowers Scrapbook Page

I was going through some old photos the other day, you know because we have THE TIME, and I came across this one of me, Reese and Summer. Reese would have been around 4 and Summer under 1. I used her cute hat (I loved hats with big flowers on them because she was bald!) and tutu as the color palette for this scrapbook page. I would also say that Petal Pink might be my favourite color at the moment. I am so happy Stampin’ Up! added it to their color lineup when they did the Color Refresh!

I did a simple color wash with my Aqua Painter in the background with Petal Pink and then I layered some Calypso Coral on top and did a bit of flicking with the Aqua Painter. And then I just started digging out flower stamp sets and dies from my collection. I used the Forever Blossoms stamp set and Cherry Blossoms dies, To a Wild Rose stamp set (I used Calypso coral as the outline, the solid fill in stamp is in Petal Pink and third detailed layer is in Grapefruit Grove) and Wild Rose dies, Magnolia Memories Dies, and the Frosted Bouquet dies. The Your Amazing sentiment is from the new Ornate Thanks stamp set coming out in the new Idea Book & Catalogue. The grey accent is Grey Granite as it had the same undertone to it and worked well with this color palette.

I love everything about this page, the softness of the colors, the simple phrases on the page and of course the two little people in the photo with me

This is a terrific ink color combo for spring!
