With the formalities taken care of, here's my project created with the stunning 

"Happy Together" 


Oh.my.heart!!! What a beautiful edition to the Altenew Build-A-Flower series! 


Here's a closer view for you...


Wow! 
That layered floral is simply spectacular! 
And the best part? If you follow the layering guide on the back of the packaging, it's super easy to create too! 
I stamped my florals with Permanent Black Crisp Ink & colors from the Candy Coated Mini Cube Bundle  - but for a limited time, Altenew is offering a special deal:



I started my layout with a cool colors, watercolor base using the packaging application technique and the Watercolor 36 Pan Set. I also added some drips and splatters for interest too!


I arranged the Canterbury Bells in an asterisk style design, then positioned my darling photograph over the center join. To help my photo remain the focal point, I embellished it with a silver glitter frame crafted from the new Fine Frames Square Die Set



So divine!!!
(& what a cute throwback photo of my two darlings! So little then!) 


To enhance my mixed media scrapbook page, I repeat stamped some of the sentiments from the Altenew B-A-F Canterbury Bells stamp set. Simple, but so effective!


For finishing touches, I added some cotton thread floss, and that fabulous Live Your Dream Puffy Alphabet Stickers title. Love it!
