Topping off Spring with Altered Pages and The Robin's Nest!

Hi Everyone!  It's Danie here with you today.  This month we are teaming up with the Robin's Nest and I have chosen to work with their Sorbet Glitter Papers which are just perfect for your Spring and Easter creating.




Today's project is a simple one - Spring Toppers and they are perfect for adding to a multitude of projects from Cards, Tags, Scrapbook Pages and ATC's.


Thinking Spring I thought the Aquamarine Sorbet Paper from the Robin's Nest coordinated fabulously with the vintage bird collage sheet Chirpy Goodness from Altered Pages.  Besides most people know I love my birds!  For contrast I used some Shocking Pink Sorbet Paper too.  I have used this to punch a small strip of cherry blossoms using one of my border punches and have then layered a paper/fabric flower over the top.

Natural fibers from Altered Pages such as burlap add wonderful contrast and interest to these toppers and lastly the Robin's Nest Dew Drops are perfect for adding as flower centres or simply as an accent and I used these both ways as a finishing touch for my Spring Toppers today.



Above is a tag I have made using one of my Spring Toppers.  I have simply colored my tag with coordinating gelatos to match and added a bit of stenciled detail with a piece of punchinella and a blue archival ink.  The same ink was used around my edges and to stamp my thank you sentiment.  Burlap and Jute Ribbon have also been used for my tag and I think they compliment the topper beautifully.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers
Danie xx

  3. I really LOVE these toppers! The colors are perfect! Think I'll try this myself. I love having completed pieces on hand that I can choose from when making a card or tag. And these would make great ATCs too. Thanks for the inspiration. Anne, yourmainestamper

  11. These have a real vintage look to them. They remind me of the old greeting cards my grandmother kept in her China cabinet. She would have loved these. Great job!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
