Love Your Butterfly Kisses

Hi everyone! I'm back to share a few close-ups and details about my projects using this month's amazing kit from ScrapThat! It was such a pleasure working with this kit because green is my favorite color and combined with beige, it's one of my favorite color combinations.
I made this layout using the Main Kit and the Embellishment add-on. The photos are of my daughter when she was a baby. She would stick her nose up at me to give me a butterfly kiss. :o)

I distressed the cork alphas that came in the kit and added printed words to my title.

I love paint! I try to always add a few splatters here and there on my work. The pearls are included in the kit, and I have placed them so that they cascade down my layout.
I altered the flocked ribbon with paint and embossing powder and tucked them under the edges of my papers.

I used Natural Sand medium and a stencil to add a subtle texture to my background. The chipboard element is made by The Dusty Attic (and is not part of the kit).

I cut flowers out of the cork and 'stitched' them to my background paper. I have a tutorial on how to do this coming up, so be sure to stop by on the 12th to check it out.

To make these little roses, I took the Crate Paper sheet and inked it with Distress Stains to match the color palette of my layout. Then I used Bitty Blossoms dies to cut out the flowers and rolled them into roses. The vintage pearl roses are by Maya Road and are included in the Embellishment add-on.

Also included in the EAO pack are these adorable butterfly clips by Pink Paislee. Love them!

I'll be back in a few days to share details about my next project using this kit. Hope to see you then!
