Pretty As A Picture - TCS April Challenge | The Flamingo Chronicals: Pretty As A Picture

Hi everyone!

Spring has sprung here in Dallas and I am super happy about it!

I love spring time, new flowers, new babies in the yard,

new everything!

Today I have a new project for The Crafty Scrapper

our April Blog Challenge is to use BLACK on your layout/project.

You can use black in any way EXCEPT for black ink- that doesn't count!

Here is a look at my project

I have used new MME papers - love them! I don't normally use black on a layout,

so this is pretty unusual for me!

I used one of the matching chipboard frames, and to fill in the space I applied

2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape to the back, and burnished with Twinkling Clouds Sparkle n Soft.

I also added Prima Flowers, May Arts ribbon, and Maya Road Pins.

My chippie here is from Blue Fern Studios and I inked it white and heat embossed with

Shimmer EP from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

The hexagon background piece I cut using my Cameo.

I added more Prima flowers and some buttons from my stash in the upper corner.

For more details on the challenge hop over to

The Crafty Scrapper Blog!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

I am linking up at the following challenges:
Scrap Around The World- Mood Board- THE COLORS!!

Use Your Stuff- Die Cut Hexagon Mat
Southern Girls Challenge- Flower Frenzy

May the Flamingos Be With You!

You know, I used to be all like "everything on here is mine and you can't copy it!!" Now I realize how childish that sounds. I did not invent anything that you are seeing on this blog. Everything I do, everything I create, was inspired by something I saw, something I did, or something someone else did. Please, look around, I hope you like what you see. If you see something you love, I hope you recreate it for your pages/scrapbook/home. If you feel like giving a link back to here, great! If not, that is all good too. It is art after all, and art is meant to be shared, not hoarded away! I hope my art inspires you, as so many other peoples art has inspired me.
May the Flamingo's be with you.
