Today I would like to share with you a couple of creations which feature the Close To My Heart’s October Stamp of the Month Wildflower Friendship (S2110).

I have created this layout, which I intend to be the front page of my 8 year old daughters baby album (not behind at all… hahahaha), using the beautiful As You Grown Paper Packet & Sticker Sheet (X8020S), along with the As You Grow Picture My Life Cards (X8020D) and a piece of the Textures Papers (X8031). Rather than the featured colours in the paper pack, I choose to use both sides of Peach Cardstock to double mat the photo.

The paper tab that the “cutie” sticker was placed on was cut from one of the PML Cards using the Tabs die set (Z3983). Rose Gold Liquid Pearls (Z3793) was used to create the pearl dots and on the beak of the owl.The owl itself was stamped onto another PML card, with some Gold Embellishing Thread (Z4054) tucked under her wing.

My next creation was inspired by a design by Alison Dunn, a fellow Maker in our team. The hedgehog was stamped onto vellum in Intense Black Ink, and then I coloured him with an array of pens and markers, including the Lepen range. I’ve added white bits with the new White Gel Pens (Z1513), and some Wildberry Dots (Z5008) and Flower Sequins (Z5025). I placed some white cardstock behind the vellum just to brighten the colour up a bit. The background was created with a blend of Chipped Sapphire (X3834) and Mermaid Lagoon (Z4521) Distress Oxides. I sprayed with a bit of water and then added some more Flower Sequins with Glitter Gems (ZZ5018) in their centres. This was then matted with black cardstock.
