Pretty As A Picture - TCS April Challenge

Hi everyone! 
Spring has sprung here in Dallas and I am super happy about it!
I love spring time, new flowers, new babies in the yard, 
new everything!

Today I have a new project for The Crafty Scrapper
our April Blog Challenge is to use BLACK on your layout/project.
You can use black in any way EXCEPT for black ink- that doesn't count!

Here is a look at my project
I have used new MME papers - love them! I don't normally use black on a layout,
so this is pretty unusual for me!

I used one of the matching chipboard frames, and to fill in the space I applied
2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape to the back, and burnished with Twinkling Clouds Sparkle n Soft.
I also added Prima Flowers, May Arts ribbon, and Maya Road Pins.

My chippie here is from Blue Fern Studios and I inked it white and heat embossed with 
Shimmer EP from Sparkle N Sprinkle. 
The hexagon background piece I cut using my Cameo. 

I added more Prima flowers and some buttons from my stash in the upper corner.

For more details on the challenge hop over to 

Thanks for stopping by today!!
I am linking up at the following challenges:
Scrap Around The World- Mood Board- THE COLORS!!
Use Your Stuff- Die Cut Hexagon Mat
Southern Girls Challenge- Flower Frenzy



May the Flamingos Be With You!
