Prima Blog Switch - The Final Day!







Hello!

Thanks for joining me on the final day of our blog switch! It's been a great week!

We've had some EXCITING news recently! My son, Billy, recently got engaged so I wanted to create a little journal for him, and his sweetheart, Bethany!

I started by painting one of Prima's fun journals with white paint, then spritzed a bit of Gold Foil Color Bloom spray on top for a soft, shimmery effect. Once it dried I added layers created with the Enchanted Framelit dies from the Flora Grande set.



Tip: Use the framelits for your photo too. Everything will nestle together perfectly, making the photo the star of the project. Top your framed photo with beautiful Prima flowers, and a few glistening butterflies cut with the Winged Beauty Thinlet Die and gold vellum!
Thank you, Sizzix, for letting me play with the new dies! They are absolutely marvelous and so versatile no matter what type of project you want to create with them!

    Beautiful album. Not only will it contain memories of their time together, it will be a remembrance of a mother who loved them enough to make them a keepsake.

    So beautiful. I love that you painted it first, then added the Gold Color Bloom Spray. A lovely photo with the sweet flowers and texture you added. The little butterfly is the perfect touch too.
