More Spring Projects with Sophia and Ginnifer!

Design team member Sophia Allison created this sweet layout using a mix of Pebbles collections and products and a really fun technique for her title.  Here's what Sophia had to say ... "I used the word from my sticker sheet (friends) as a template, added talcum powder to make the backing not stick on my paper and chalked it brown. Then removed the sticker and voila, kind of like creating your own stencil."  Thanks for sharing this fun tip Sophia!

Design team member Ginnifer Maloney created a layout with paper pieced tulips that look so close to the real thing!  Here's what Ginnifer had to say ... "To make the tulips, I used the flower chalk stencil and traced the biggest leaves, 3 each for each tulip, then chalked them and layered them like a tulip head.  I didn't need to do much with the ribbon as it already reminded me of tulip leaves as it unraveled.  I just used some glue dots to hold them in position and cut the ends of the ribbon rounded to look more like a leaf.  Here's a tip, run a flame from a lighter over the end of the cut ribbon and it melts it enough and seal it to keep it from unraveling.  For this layout I also inked the edges with Versamark ink then chalked the edges, so I got the brightness of using ink, but the softness of using chalk." Fabulous Ginnifer!
