"Bloom Where You Are Planted" for Reneabouquets

Hi everyone, today I have a new layout to share with you for Reneabouquets Design Team. Filled with some pretty springtime goodies from Reneabouquets store. Let's get started. I first stitched around the perimeter of my background paper for interest then I wanted to highlight the pathway in the photograph therefore I tore the paper and used chocolate corrugated cardboard for the mat to bring your eye forward in the layout.  I then used Beautiful Board Grid Elements Laser Cut Chipboard on the sides of the photo to provide a garden trellis effect. It also adds some nice texture to your photo surrounding. Then I tucked the Beautiful Board Wild Flower Gears around the sides of the photo. Playing off the slight shade of peach in the photo I decided to use Soft Peach Roses and also one of my very favorite colors Antique Linen Roses. The Antique Linen is such a versatile color and goes with everything. The flowers come with some extra pretty mulberry leaves to use so I layered them with the Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Skeleton Leaf Chipboard. I then decided, what would a gardening layout be without the pretty Printed Beautiful Board Small Tuck It In Sweet Daisy Chipboard. I then added the Beautiful Board Small Feathers Set of 3 around the layout. To finish off the layout I added Queen Bee Clock Charm from the trinkets in the store and the gorgeous Secret Garden Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies. Of course I had to add a bit of bling to the layout so I went around the perimeter of the layout and sprinkled Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. This was a fun layout to create, fun colors to play with and I hope you enjoyed this. For your pleasure I do have a video tutorial below for your viewing. Wishing you a day filled with peace.

Easter Easel Cards for Reneabouquets

 Hi everyone, it's Toni here today and I'm here to share a couple of fun cards created for Easter. 

There are so many items in Reneabouquets store to take your spring projects over the top, from flowers, to lace, to trinkets and beads. I love creating dimensional art and my cards are no exception. Taking this Beautiful Board Faberge Eggs With Bead Holes provided such a pretty focal point on one of the cards. I embossed it in gold and then placed it on a piece of acetate to give the illusion of floating.  The addition of the Beautiful Beads Rose Gold Iridescent Pearls matched beautifully with the paper I chose for the card . 

Around the perimeter of the wreath I added pretty little Beautiful Beads Candy in Pale Pink. I then used the metal frame from the Mermaid Trinkets Pack to put my sentiment on the card. 

For my second card I decided to emboss in silver our Beautiful Board Word Happy Easter for my focal point. Also adhering it to acetate for a floating effect. 

The butterfly I chose to add to this card is the Lavender Fairy Dust Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterfly. The flowers I added are the Purple Roses and Leaves and also the Plum Roses and Leaves. I also added some Beautiful Beads Candy in Lavender on the top of the embossed flowers. To finish off both card fronts, it's very subtle but adds just the perfect bit of sparkle I added Gawdie Girl Fine German Glass Glitter. It provides a soft sugary look to the cards without over doing it. 

Wishing you a month filled with new beginnings, a fresh start and peace.
