Welcome to the Quietfire Design's 2017 Queen of Hearts Blog Hop!
This week we're celebrating the release of the newest dies, stencils and stamps from Quietfire Design and here's my contribution, a scrapbook layout which uses two of the new Way with Words dies and the butterfly spray stencil.
I have some amazing friends and when we travel together we have so much fun, so using the new word dies 'Fun' and 'Together' worked perfectly as a page title. Elegant and quick.
The new stencils are so fun. I used glitter paste and the butterfly spray stencil to create a glittery background effect on the left hand side of my picture. Just smear some glitter paste through the stencil onto the patterned paper, let dry (the glitter paste dries in a couple of minutes), and repeat to add more butterflies.
Add the stamped friendship quote from Quietfire Design to add the perfect embellishment and the layout is close to done. The coloured doilies are paper doilies from the dollar store that I altered with a bit of watercolour paint. I painted the flower to match. You can do a lot with some inexpensive watercolours.

Absolutely gorgeous layout , Connie . Love that stencil.
I love this card.. and who makes that glitter paste? it's a gorgeous colour :)
Hi, first time visitor here. I like the layout & can appreciate the time you spent on this page. The result is beautiful. Looking closely at the picture, I can see a yellow flower. Was that part of the actual picture or inserted on the picture later? It's hard to tell but it drew my attention & got me wondering about it. Thx & great blog!
