Prima "Nature Garden"



Hey everyone!

Just sharing a layout I did using new Prima Nature Garden Collection from the Flying Unicorn Store! The new Prima lines are some of my faves!! Sun Kiss, Songbird, Nature Garden...all so beautiful!! I also did this lo for my scrappy sister Shona's Fussy Cutting challenge in the Flying Unicorn Forum!





I used a piece of cardboard and slapped some Gesso on the background page. I then masked the corner using Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and a Tattered Angels Glimmer Screen.
I painted the Imaginarium chippie window with Picket Fence Crackle Paint and then cut it apart. I used the shutters to frame the photo after I put some Sea Kelp Glimmer Glam on it. I then used the lattice part on the bottom right corner. I fussy cut all the fairies and birdhouses from other Prima sheets from the Nature Garden Collection.
I glammed up a Prima flower and dabbed a little paint on the pink Flying Unicorn Flower. I also used the arch part of the chippie here..

 Come join in our fun challenges and see all the awesome RAK's you can win at Flying Unicorn!!

Thanks for stopping by today!! I hope you get inspired to create this week! Have a Happy and Blessed Easter and till next time..happy scrappin!

My Kit Creations

Hey scrapping friends!

Denise here to share with you some close ups and details of my creations using the new April kit "A Touch of Spring".

This kit has GOT to be my very favorite so far! It is packed with the most beautiful papers, flowers, embellies..and the OTP is off the hook!!! Ok I have lots to share, so grab your coffee or tea and let's get started!


For this lo I used gesso for the first time ever! I wanted to play around with it for a bit so just used a small rubber stamp and dabbed it in the gesso and stamped it on the paper over top the Shabby Shutters Crackle Paint.

I loved the little fence that comes with the kit!! I brushed some crackle paint over it and fussy cut one of the decorative sheets from Megs Garden behind it. Added some Flying Unicorn roses from my stash. I used the Prima bird stamps from the kit to adorn the top of the fence.

I misted one of the flowers with some Glimmer Mist and added some crackle paint..I am loving to paint everything these days ;)

For this next one I used the Fabscraps papers that came with the kit. The DA vine was from my stash which I got from the store.

There is that gesso again! I used it with a stamp I had (great tips from Shona!) I used Distress Stain Peeled Paint on the vine and then dabbed some paint on it which I blended with a qtip.

Thickers came in the kit, and I used them for "He". Almost all the flowers were from the kit and flower add on kit too.

For this next one I did lots of different masking on the background. I made this for a friend and co worker. I really wanted to make it rustic and feminine at the same time.

This next two are my faves. I really loved the decorative papers that came with the kit. Great for fussy cutting!! The DA flower is from my stash and is available at the store, as is the gate on the 2nd one.

I made the hot pink flowers using the cardstock. I will be doing a tutorial on them at a later date if anyone is interested. they are super easy and way cute!

I used Bo Bunny's Country Garden papers for the roof and painted the little fence with Distress Stain-Vintage Photo.
