What a way to
celebrate Spring - Swirlydoos' Wildflower Kit and Add-Ons are packed full of
gorgeous colors, elegant embellishments (with a bit of fun thrown in!) and, as
always, the opportunities to create several OTP projects.
I started with
the sketch (did you know that every Swirlydoos Kit comes with an original
sketch created by Swirlydoos Designer Kim Heard?), the Whitford sheet from Blue
Fern Studios' Chesterville collection and this wonderful photo of my
daughter-in-law and granddaughter that my son took on Easter Sunday. I've added
the oversized Frank Garcia resin frame and Tim Holtz Quote Chips from the main
kit, flowers from the main kit and various add-ons, and one of the Frank Garcia
spoons that came in the Embellishment kit. The Mediums kit is just amazing this
month; I used the new Finnabair Waxes and Sparks to color the resin frame and
Quote Chips, along with the clay cherub and small frame that I made with air-dry
clay.
Here is the
sketch.
And my layout...
And a few closeups...
I'm now hosting
the All That Flutters Challenge http://www.swirlydoos.com/forums/topic/may-atf-challenge-wildflower/
- a monthly chance to show off some of your collection of butterflies,
dragonflies, bees, ladybugs, birds, fairies and anything else that well,
flutters!
Here is the
layout that I created as an example, using a gorgeous paper from Prima's Wild
and Free collection, more of the Quote Chips and the amazing chippie that came
in the Main Kit to scrap this group of beautiful Swirly Campers. Those cute
Darice wood butterflies, the frame and the Quote Chips were all treated with Finnabair
Waxes and Sparks from the Mediums kit.
Some closeups...
This next layout
features all three grandchildren on Easter. I've used another of the Blue Fern
Studios Chesterville papers and various scraps to mat the photo. That's a
Creative Embellishments chippie (Distressed Chicken Wire Border) that was
treated with more of the Finn Waxes. The vines under the flowers were cut from
an old dictionary page using a Sizzix Wildflowers Thinlits die from the Die
add-on and colored with the Ranger Gold Metallic paint from the Mediums kit.
And now for this
month's Project Add-On, featuring 2 Tim Holtz Vignette Boxes and tons of fun
pieces to embellish them with! The boxes themselves were colored with Ranger
Gold Metallic paint; I've used a few scraps of papers on the inside. Before
adhering the Tim Holtz Finials to the tops and bottoms, I coated them with
Finnabair Waxes. I created the decor on the sides with air-dry clay, using IOD
Moulds; like the Finials, they're coated with Finnabair Waxes. Those adorable
domes (filled with beads from my stash), the grape hearts, spools and twine are
included in this kit; the flowers and the gold nailheads are from the
Embellishment kit. The photo is from my family's collection: my Aunts Dorothy
and Jean c.1925.
