Hero Arts Flowers & Circles Scrapbook Page


I made this page at the Hero Arts booth at the CHA Winter 2008 Convention. I didn't have the photo with me, but I added it after I returned. This is how I made the page:


1. Use a 8" x 8" Brown cardstock sheet. Add photo to the top center. Mount the scallop edge from the ClearDesign Dots & Lines (CL127) set to a large acrylic block. Stamp on both sides of the photo with white ink.


2. Stamp Hero Arts ClearDesign Circular Designs with white ink. Each of the circles is a separate stamp, but we arranged several of the circles on an acrylic block before stamping, making it just like a large background stamp. This saved a lot of time, instead of having to stamp each circle separately. I stamped them in a random fashion, just at the bottom, since most of it would be covered up.


3. Stamp one of the circles, the one with the loops, on a green scallop border (on each scallop), using the green ink from the Primary Chalk Queue from Colorbox. Glue the border to the page.


4. Glue a piece of ribbon ton top of the scallop border. Cut off the edges.


5. Stamp the scallop circle from the Circular Designs set and the words "love you" in brown on the teal scalloped circle, then glue to a kraft circle. Add to layout with pop dots.


6. Add various Hero Arts Summer Flowers (CH150) with mini glue dots. Layer some of the flowers, for added dimension.


7. Add various Small Pearls (CH136) and Medium Pearls (CH137) to the centers of flowers.


8. Take a string of Small Pearls and add to the top of the ribbon, on each side.
