Fun with Florence

Hello and welcome aboard our Australasian Florence Blog Hop.

If you have arrived here from Kara then you are in the right place. If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post.

Today I would like to share with you a creation which features Close To My Heart’s Florence Paper Packet- a gorgeous mix of jewel tones, gold accents and floral print.

I adore the Complements that coordinate with this paper packet, and the combination of the blues, yellows and copper tones immediately caught my eye.

I created this layout using a sketch from Pinterest, layering three different 5x5 patterned papers from the Florence collection onto White Daisy cardstock and matting the photos in Saffron and Peacock cardstock.



The flowers, journal tab and titles were all stickers and accents from the Florence Complements, so the only stamping I had to do was the journal lines from the Noted stamp set in Peacock ink.



I can't wait to add photos of me performing in an upcoming musical- it will be a brilliant show!

I'd love you to leave a comment before heading off to the next stop, Passionate About Pages.

Florence in Space!

I love the Florence paper packet, but I was struggling to make it masculine with three men in the house.

Then I looked at the subtle stripes paper, and inspired by the sketch challenge, I set to work!

I stamped three monsters onto the paper in Peacock, Poppy and Saffron ink, and then added some Junebug Puffies and Poppy Thick Twine.



The sentiment was also fussy cut from one of the zip strips on top of the paper, and worked perfectly with the stamped creatures!
