Prima Reflections

Hi! Here comes my first ever DT card for Paper Lane! It's all so exciting that I still can't believe it's true :)

This week we are featuring the Prima Marketing release for Winter 2011. I have not used Prima products before and was so curious to find out why it's so popular in the paper crafting community. Now I know :). It's simply gorgeous - the papers, the flowers, the colours... Paper Lane has brought to Dubai the whole release, so there are so many products and colours to choose from that one can get really lost and overwhelmed. I hope the DT will help you find your favourite ones!

For this card I chose a die cut shape from the Reflections Collection 6x6 paper pad. The collection features warm shades of nature colours and beautiful patterns which can produce both natural and vintage look on your projects, be it a card or a scrapbook page. I chose that particular die cut for a reason. Birds seem to be in fashion in the industry this season, so I wanted to make my card really trendy :). To complement its fashionable look, I adorned it with a butterfly and a ribbon.

I distressed the edges with Crushed Olive Distress Ink to make them pop; then I used the blue side of Reflections Mantra paper to add colour to the background; stamped a sentiment in brown ink to match the paper; tied an organza ribbon and embellished with a shiny hand-made butterfly. It's an easy, elegant and quick card (in case you have the embellishment ready :)).

The butterfly was so fun to make! I just love it when you can turn a plain piece of paper into a lovely element. The butterfly was just a white Sizzix die cut when I started dealing with it :). If you like it, I can show you how to make one later on.

I couldn't resist and tried some of the other Prima collections as well. Visit me soon for some more Prima cards and a reveal on which one is my favourite collection among all! Thanks for stopping by!

Здравейте! Първата ми картичка като част от дизайнерския екип на Paper Lane е факт! Тази седмица представяме новата колекция на Prima от CHA 2011. Досега не бях използвала Prima и ми беше много любопитно да разбера защо продуктите им са толкова популярни. Е, убедих се. Има защо :). Разнообразието на новата колекция е невероятно - от натурални цветове до пролетно свежо и ярко лятно.

За тази картичка използвах колекцията Reflections, която идва в по-натурални и топли цветове. Формата е част от хартиеното блокче на колекцията; използвах дистрес мастило Маслина за краищата, една от сините хартии от колекцията, панделка от органза и пеперуда, която направих сама от форма изрязана със Sizzix.

Не можах да устоя и пробвах и няколко от другите колекции. Наминете скоро за още Prima картички, както и за да разберете, коя е любимата ми Prima колекция за този сезон!
Благодаря, че се отбихте!
