Botanique

American Craft have brought out some stunning new lines this season one of which is the Botanique range. This range is full of gorgeous floral papers with co-ordinating chipboard, ribbons and alphabets. Vanessa has created two stunning layouts and a mini book.

Vanessa has cut out butterflies and flowers from the papers to create her own embellishments.

Creating your own flowers can be really simple, roughly cut out some circles and distress the edges. Layer the circles up and secure them together through the middle using a brad, scrumple the papers up around the brad until you are happy with how it looks.

Don't forget this months challenge, create a page using up some of your old stash and be in with a chance of winning a £10 e-voucher and the opportunity to join the design team and produce and example layout for the May challenge.
