Now, here’s my project.

When I saw this release, so much of it screamed one of our DT members, Randi, to me! She’s such a motivator, cheerleader and ODBD ambassador at shows!  I had this idea of something really special this time around, so I started searching the resources on Splitcoast and found this Scrapbook Wallet… perfect! I used every single set and single from this release.

Here is the entire “wallet” folded up and closed. The paper tole flower is Dahlia, from the Garden Collection, stamped/embossed  3 times on regular cardstock and watercolored with Ranger Adirondack reinkers. I cut around the petals, cutting into some of them for a more realistic look, then spritzed with water, crumpled tightly into a ball and carefully un-crumpled. These I let air dry then adhered together with Zip Dry glue, added Flower Soft to the center and built my floral spray.

I used Spellbinders Foliage and Martha Stewart’s Branch punch on Prism cardstock. The entire front flap was given a generous amount of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist. All the pages are Prism cardstock with Basic Grey Sweet Threads.

To secure the top and bottom flaps, I used sticky hook/loop squares.

As it opens and starts to unfold… Five pages to open, each side has a layout, and one final layout in the middle… that’s 11 different pages!! Whew! But really, once I got the basics of the wallet itself, it went together pretty fast. (HINT.. make a mock one first to see where the pages go, then when you do the REAL thing, stamp and embellish BEFORE putting it together! I think it’d be much easier!)

Dahlia, Kind Hearts, Serve The Lord, Time, Crocheted Background and matching dies… awesome stamps! You should be able to right click on the collage or any other picture and bring it up in another window for better viewing.

Embossed and colored with Prismacolor pencils blended with baby oil.

And more Glimmer Mist 

Spellbinders used: ODBD Elegant Ovals, Labels 16/18, Lacy Ovals, Fleur de Lis Squares/Motifs/Rectangles, Sprightly Spockets, Fancy Tags II/III, Foliage…all cut on my Grand Calibur
