Welcome to the BasicGrey Serenade Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from the blog of Els Brige.
The Serenade Collection captures the refinement of bygone years, where tea was served with crumpets and your dinner guests retired to the parlor for sparkling conversation. Full of refined grace and delicate simplicity, you’ll love adorning your projects with Serenade’s layers of petticoats, bustled tea gowns and prim parasols.I absolutely ADORE the Serenade color palette. The neutral taupe color paired with blue, green and a touch of black, peach and yellow is just gorgeous! Such an unexpected color combination that I just love. I've found that black and white photos go beautifully with this line and that's what I chose to use here. I used a combo of a sticker banner and the Serenade Flags and Banners to embellish the top of my photo. I love the premade flags and banners and how simple they are to add to any layout.

They are so wonderful! Shillings is definite a top choice for me when it comes to paper. The texture and the comfort that I get when I use it is what compels me to use it every single time I make a project like this. Thanks for the share! Love it!
