Altair Art - Valentine Home Decor Project

 Hello, my friends!

I'm back today with a new project share

 as Brand Ambassador for Altair Art Scrapbooking Papers.

Today I am featuring a recent release called:

On the Wings of the Rainbow Collection

It's such a lovely collection of papers and elements, 

with an assortment of both whimsy and elegance.

For my project today, I have chosen the elegant route.

In all the sorting and organizing I've been doing,

I recently came across a stash of pretty decorative plates.

Two of the plates were heart shaped.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner,

I thought I would decorate them,

using these beautiful papers. 

Here is the first one:

The green ribbon was already attached to the plate for hanging.

I made an impression of the heart in the center of the plate,

traced it onto the decorative paper, and cut it out.

I distressed the edges of the heart before adhering it to the center of the plate.

I fussy cut all the flowers and elements from the collection.

I began by placing the fussy cut floral wreath to the center of the background heart.

Then I added some extra leaves around the wreath

I used a combination of Best Glue Ever and foam tape.

The two butterflies had their wings folded up for some extra dimension.

I also distressed two of the mini tags, and added them to the bottom of the ribbon.

Here is the second plate.

It also had a green ribbon hanger.

I followed the same process with the background paper here.

This time I added a multitude of fussy cut flowers and leaves,

along with a piece of cheesecloth.

There's so much pretty dimension and texture in this grouping.

Here are the two plates side by side.

The one on the left measures 7 1/2" across it's widest point.

The one on the right is a little bit bigger at 9 1/4" across.

Aren't they pretty?

I think they'd make a wonderful Valentine's Day gift! ;o)
