Altered Blackboard with Hearts Ease from Couture Creations

So I've been having a play with the pretty Hearts Ease paper Collection from Couture Creations. So much gorgeousness in one paper pad!!

We have a boring old blackboard at home that needed some decorating (of course!) to make it pretty, so with lots of fussy cutting and layering I have made this ...

Working our way around the black board - starting at the top left hand corner - I used: a brown gardenia, some purple stemmed flowers and ivory pearl garlands, a 2 tone brown sweetheart blossoms and some purple roses.  That bit of metal filigree under the brown flower - is one of our large flower filigrees - which I have cut up individually.

I've popped some assorted flowers around this cute cut-out bird on a branch.

 Our Timepiece charms is a perfect embellishment for this paper range - it matches the paper clocks perfectly.

And our hourglass charms also perfectly compliment the paper hourglass motif.

I've tucked in lots of muslin behind the paper layers, together with our Light Mocha 1cm roses (these are gorgeous and have a light tone of gold) and again more cut up large flower filigrees.

To view the full collection of papers you will receive in the paper pad, pop over to the Couture Creations blog, then head back to our website to place your order. This collection is filled with pansies and the soft, earthy tones of Spring and Autumn. Together, the lush and vibrant colours of these Autumn flowers work well with the softness of the background patterns.
