Pretty In Pastels!

Pastels have taken the world by storm! Paired with a neutral they take center stage with their delicateness and sweet beauty. Of course we had to try our hand at taking pastels and Prima-fying them! Here's what our fabulous gals have come up with! (macaron photo credit)

Soft and sweet, this pastel layout by Delaina Burns, showcases her adorable granddaughter perfectly with tender accents! Start with a white backdrop, then add light touches of color with patterned papers, Prima pearls and a gorgeous array of flowers. Color accents (like the resin letters or shabby chic frame) with our pastel chalk edgers for beautifully coordinating results.

"I promised my sister I would make my little niece a cute door hanger to match her room. I had already made my nephew one with the Toby stamp, so it was time to make one for my 18 month old niece. Julie Nutting's stamp, Adara, was the perfect doll for my project as it looks exactly like my niece...ponytail and all! I used different pink, orange, and yellow pastel tones to embellish with the flowers." ~Keren Tamir

A floral burst of femininity describes this layout by Camilla Ekman perfectly. A sprinkling of fresh flowers frame the photo nicely while adding gorgeous contrast to the pastel page. Start with your papers, adding a decorative edge to each. Layer on die-cut scrolls and a fabulous photo. Top with a winding vine of beautiful Prima flowers for a pastel layout that is suitable for framing.
