Balmy Breeze Collection Debut- Heartfelt Creations

Hi Everyone,

We're absolutely delighted to bring you the Balmy Breeze Collection. Old world vintage has been combined with tranquil seaside scenes (including a rustic compass, beach chair, fantastic surf, beaming lighthouses) and the Balmy Breeze paper pack, composed of a neutral color palette of peach and mint hues. This set is perfect for the crafter that loves creating vintage projects or for the stamper looking to create a project for her favorite man.

Here's what I made, a Wall hanging to adorn your kitchen or living room wall. This collection is gorgeous for just about anything as you will see from the inspiring projects by our DT that;s shared on the blog

Stamp the two anchor images from the seascape precut set, fussy the larger image and die cut the smaller image using the anchor die from the decorative Lattice die. 

Layer the smaller anchor on top of the larger anchor and attach a brad to the loop on the top of the anchor to enable the smaller anchor to move from side to side. 

Adhere to the corner of the fussy cut image at Step 5. Die cut two pieces of the Decorative Lattice Swirls and adhere at either corner. Embellish with pearls. 

Adhere handmade flowers (made using the Vintage Floret die. Adhere blings to the centre). 

Dab the white ink stamp pad randomly at the flowers to create a washed outlook for the flowers (it also looks like the flowers have been touched by the foamy sea waters!).

Stamp the leaves image from the Beautiful You Precut Set and die cut using the leaves die from the Decorative Flower Pot Die set. 

Adhere around the lighthouse image and decorative lattice die cut. Distress the edges with white ink.

Add metal hanging piece to the back of the entire board. Your wall hanging piece is now ready!
