If you came from Emilia's blog- you are on the right path. And if not- you have a full blog list at the end of this post.

And now to my project. As I design for both DV and IBS, I had to made something more significant than a card , so I made this spring mood layout and also I know that it's not totally with flowers and pastel, it shows this spring mood of my dear beloved American niece Tamar.

I used quite a lot of DV dies - from the new April release and from the previous ones and a lot of IBS stamps too.

The background was made with colored to pink texture paste and masks all around the page. Then I stamped IBS background stamps randomly with black ink and then I added a lot of tags, stamping over them the general words such as Love, Memories etc. I added 2 stamped tickets and a lot of arrows around the page. Here is a list of stamps used for this lo:
Arrows
Background basics 3
Background basic 4
Chalkboard Birthday
Vintage tickets

The Sweet Frames Pretty is the new DV die and the Sweet frames "Love " oldie" (not so old after all) was added under the photo for the interest. The black die cut background Ovals under the photo are from the new April release too. I used half of new April DV die " For you" and added the " you" word as a part of my title: Love from the frame and You form the title.I also added a couple of IBS shop flowers, a couple of border DV dies and then I decided to stop. No more. No more embellishments or add- ons as I really want those stamps and dies to shine! Lucky me to design for two such a great companies!
