Guest Designer For Berry71Bleu!!

This month I have the honor of working for Berry71Bleu as a Guest Design Team Member. It is always a privelage to get to work for Marivic Clifton. Not only does she create amazingly beautiful tags, but she is just a sweetheart. So thank you Marivic for having me!!

This month the challenge is "Anything Goes", and you can find additional information at the end of my post about that challenge. One of the sponsors is Scrapiniec Chipboard.

All the Chipboard used on this layout was supplied by:

Scrapiniec Die-Cut Chipboard

Blog: http://scrapiniec-inspiracje.blogspot.com/

Scrapiniec is the first Polish manufacturer of laser die-cut chipboard products for use in scrapbooking. They satisfy even the most unusual individual orders and are characterized by reliability, high quality and friendly customer service. 

Marivic sent me this FABulous tag with a birdcage and butterfly and I decided to do a Vintage Tea Themed layout surrounding this wonderful old Vintage photo that I found on Pinterest. 

I did lots of punching, some stamping, and some painting and coloring on the chipboard pieces . The trim I used is from the Tresors De Luxe Etsy Shop, and the Tranquil Garden Butterflies are from my Reneabouquets Etsy Shop.

Here you can see a close up of that yummy tag!

I used some of one the chipboard pieces that I cut apart and misted as a frame for my photo.

Here you can see where I used some of the chipboard flourishes in my floral work.

And here I used one of the chipboard medallions that I painted with micas for a decorative piece that I added a flower to.

Creating something beautiful is a snap when you use one of Marivic's tags~they are instant elegance!!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you get a chance to take part in this month's challenge, because as you can see below, the prizes are incredible!! But, most of all I hope you find time to create. 

Hugs, ~Renea

The Inspiration

Linda the founder and CEO of Heartfelt Creations describes it as the 'AHH HA' moment when she picked up her first stamp to show her kids how to use it. At that moment she realized that she had discovered something amazing. With that a dream was born to offer the same creative delight to people around the world that she felt when she picked up a stamp for the first time.
