The stickles looks a lot better IRL, just could not get them to photograph the way I wanted them - sigh!
Ruth got permission from Magga Mjuka to use a sketch that she designed, check out her work on her blog Here or her gallery in Scrapbook.com here!
This has to be one of the most busiest pages that I have done, and it was fun!
I decided to use different shades of pink cardstock to make the base. All card edges, photo edges etc have been inked. I cut 2 photos into circles, I then used some clear plastic into the 3rd circle as I wanted it to be transparent like bubbles.
I used a circle journaling stamp on the plastic and used a peel off marker to write the journaling, and as usual made a mistake, at least future generations will know I am not perfect, lol
I stamped some flourishes and then used a whole lot of flowers, when I was finished the bottom flourish had all but disappeared, so I re-stamped that flourish. Next came stickles, everywhere all along the flourish lines, on some of the brads, etc
My line of brads at the bottom went a bit wonky, but hey I am like that anyways, lol
I used self adhesive pearls around the top photo. I used a substance like liquid pearls to add blobs to some of the petals. Lots of crystal gems, some glitter brads, a brad with a butterfly that I stickled (bottom left flower).
The pink butterfly I got from dismantling a hair bobble that was got in Claire's Accessories. A dragonfly that I can't remember buying, which also got stickled.
The title was done with rub-ons.
Some pics of the flowers and flourishes in more detail.

OMG this is stunning!!!! I knew that this sketch would bring out the best in everyone but yours is truly beautiful!!
Aimee looks so serene and the swirls, flouishes and flowers are a perfect match to this pink girly page.
Good to see you have remained faithful to your trusty stickles it is such a shame they don't photograph as well as they look in real life but on this LO you can still clearly see them.
We have both used the prima stamp in exactly the same place!!lol!
