Grateful Heart collection, by Amanda Hartmann

 Hello Colour Blast fans!

Armed with the amazing paper pack from the Grateful Heart collection, I go busy recently creating a couple of layouts. The peaches and blues of this range are beautiful and there are plenty of opportunities to do fussy cutting!

I created lots of layers of papers and fussy cut elements, with some stickers and florals, to create this special page about my friend Moira.

I assembled the page with different patterned papers in the Grateful Heart - Paper Collection Pack, including some layered mounting behind the photo. By using the "Together" paper, I already had a line of detail running down the right side of the page. I fussy cut florals from the second sheet of "Together" paper and some from the "Family" paper. I was able to layer these down the page - with some muslin, flowers and other details.

To finish the page, I mixed some Colour Mica powder with water to splatter on the page. I chose the rich cooper tones of Sienna for this.

 I again cracked out the  Grateful Heart - Paper Collection Pack, for this second page of my hubby and I. Again I used more fussy cut florals and even included a lace bunting cut from the "Collection-Bonus" paper. I did include a layer of white in this layout, using the ever awesome Bee Arty White Cardstock

To finish the page, I mixed some Colour Mica powder with water to splatter on the page. I chose the tones of Peach Nectar for this. As well as splattering, I also painted some of the floral and leaf elements.

Thanks for joining me today so I could share these pages with you.

They are special pages to me and sentiments and colours of "Grateful Heart" felt perfect for the emotion I wanted to convey. Perhaps you haven't seen this range but you have the perfect photos just waiting to be scrapped! Get yours in store today.

Thanks again,

Amanda
