I have always been a huge Prima fan, but I‘ve got to say these new collections are truly amazing. Tammy has put together the most fantastic kits. The Prima Marketing ~Watercolor Rainbow ~Deluxe Scrapbook Kit is perfect for even the most inexperienced scrapper. It includes not only beautiful two-sided patterned papers but also papers like “Because” (shown below unadorned).

In a pinch, you could just add pictures and journaling and you would have a gorgeous keepsake, but of course I had to “kick it up a notch”! The first thing I did was cut away the inside of the frame. I ran a piece of light aqua Bazzill through my Cuttlebug to emboss a raised floral pattern. I sprayed some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Sea Glass on a sponge and rubbed it over the embossed paper then took a bit of brown Distress Ink to it to age it a bit. I used pop dots to adhere it to the backside of the paper behind the opening.

I double matted the picture, wrapped a scrap of sateen ribbon and added a bow and a Prima Pebble before pop dotting it in the center of the opening. I just love the dimension this created.

I loved the Prima flowers that came in this kit but wanted more of an impact, so I cut flowers from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cartridge in multiple sizes. I embossed them with the same folder, rubbed rose ink on them and layered them over three Prima leaves. I then took the clay flowers from the “Say It In Pearls“ embellishment (can you say yumm-o?), tinted it with rose ink and placed it in the center of my home made flower. I love the way the way these nestle so nicely in with the Primas.

The "because" title is beautiful on its own, but for more dimension I cut out a “b” the same size on a bit of light pink Bazzill, stamped it with text, inked the edges and embossed it with the Cuttlebug. It is pop dotted for added dimension.

A few more flowers, a bit of journaling and this layout was complete! Love, love, love me some Prima!
