WATERSIDE RETREAT

This week I am featuring the Waterside Retreat Suite Collection.

167932 $120.50 (AUD)

Although most of my projects this week have been created as masculine in nature, today’s project is designed as a home decor piece.

When I get to Ikea and restock my shadow box frames, this project will be placed in a white frame and given to a daughter for her home.

After seeing the Designer Series Paper page with all the seagulls in flight, I knew what I wanted to create.

I used three of these pages – one for the background and the other two for lots and lots of fussy cut birds.

The fussy cut birds were layered onto the base page – some once and others twice, using mini dimensionals.

I love the way that the layered birds add both depth and movement to the page.

The great thing about fussy cutting is that you canwatch a streamed movie at the same time.

Once this page is popped inside a white shadow box frame and put on a wall this project will definitely ‘fly’.

Tomorrow I have a great masculine birthday card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.

For this project I focused on the amazing Designer Series Paper and did a lot of fussy cutting.

I used one of the Secret Sea DSP deigns as a background for the shadow box decor project.

Then, after fussy cutting these 10 different drinks glasses, I positioned the glasses on the DSP and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up.

Finally, I added some Metallic Gems to the DSP and assembled the shadow box.

Tomorrow’s technique project is a shaker card – well, actually twoshaker cards.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
