Bella Rosa Designer Paper in Flip Flop Album

I just finished making two more Flip Flop Albums using the NEW Bella Rosa Designer Paper and the Brand New In-Colors, Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette

Oh, these colors are to die for.



Bella Rosa and Riding Hood Red Flip Flop Album












No Stamp Sets
Card Stock: Riding Hood Red Textured Paper, Bella Rosa Designer Paper, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette
Embellishments: 5 Petal Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, Boho Blossom Punch, Gold Brads, Regal Rose 5/8" Gross Grain Ribbon

To make my flowers for the inside doors, I punched out with the 5 Petal Flower Punch in Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette - I then used the Ticket Corner Punch and clipped off each petal - a different effect. Mounted those and the boho blossom flower punch with a gold brad in the center and then used my white gel pen to add accents.
