I Came.....I Saw.....Now where's my snacky?

Quite a long time ago I posted this very expressive photo of my precious Lucy 
on FaceBook and asked for layout title suggestions.  
Such awesome responses with great ideas!
These suggestions inspired me to come up with a title that fits Lucy perfectly!
So thank you very much to all that helped to inspire me!

This stunning paper is from 49 & Market's Cottage Life collection.
The purple & blue tones are just gorgeous!
First I made subtle splatters of Lindy's Stamp Gang's Starburst color Afternoon Delight Denim. 

Using Creative Embellishment's chipboard pieces, I chose the Calligraphic Frame
All chipboard was first prepped with gesso and then heat embossed.
The frame has two colors - Blue Fern Studios' Pansy & Lindy's Stamp Gang's Pop Rock Purple. 
I really love how it turned out!

Next I used Creative Embellishments Flourish Set 2 which has two pieces - one small & one large.
These were sprayed with two Lindy's Starburst greens - 
~retired color~ Gator Gumbo Olive (deep olive with bronze shimmer)
Green with Envy Green (khaki green with soft gold shimmer)
Ranger Crackle Accents was randomly applied.

The floral parts of the flourishes were carefully colored with a paint brush 
using Lindy's Starburst Afternoon Delight Denim
These were then topped with Ranger Glossy Accents.
Each piece was finished with pretty lilac colored pearls.

The title is spelled out using The Dusty Attic ABCs.
These are the Teeny Tiny ABCs.
Here I used Blue Fern Studios' fabulous EP In the Navy!

And here I used LSG EP Pop Rock Purple and then inked the bottom of each letter 
with Tsukineko Versamagic Chalk Ink color Night Sky which is a deep Navy Blue, 
but it turned out more purple, which is just fine with me (aka Miss Purpleholic).
These are both the uppercase & lowercase ABCs.


I recently loaded up my stash with many new Cheery Lynn Designs border dies. 
This beauty is Border #5.

Here are a couple of photos of the flower arrangements I made. 
I used Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, as well as a couple of silk artificial Salvia.

The die cut leaf under the curly wild rose is from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful week, Lisa.
