At the Close To My Heart Convention 2015, we made a great layout with the theme "Up" from the movie Up. 

I wanted to be able to recreate it for a class and have it easy to duplicate. With the new Artistry Bundle, it was a piece of cake to make the balloons, house, banners, arrow and gold glitter bow.

There are some new cardstock colours in the Enchantment Colour Palette. The base pages are Peacock & Eggplant. The white paper is the new Watercolour Paper and painted with the new Watercolour Paints.

I had a lot of fun using the Fundamentals Paper which are double-sided with the same design on both sides, one side with a glossy pattern.

I hope to see you at an upcoming class~

I was so inspired by a card that the Art Department at Close To My Heart made, I had to give it a try. 

What do you think...did I get close? I hope you are inspired to give it a try too.

This is a 5 x 7 card the features the new La Vie En Rose Paper Collection.

I used the September Stamp of the Month, Paper Garden and inked the image with Whisper Ink and the painted with our new  Watercolour Paints.  
I used silver shimmer trim, grey enamel gems and whisper thick twine.

These are so simple to and a ton of fun too!

I love just how versatile these papers are & can be used for so many different occasions. Each collection retails for $11.75CDN and you get 2 sheets of 3 designed double sided papers plus 6 sheets of coordinating cardstock, that's 12 sheets of paper that are all coordinated for you for just $11.75!!
