Touches of Texture

This is going to be a well-used, well-loved set -- I can tell!  I can't wait to experiment more with this. I was pleasantly surprised at the flexibility of the Festive folder.  I didn't think that it would lend itself to this kind of project, but it totally did!

Ladybugs!

Sitting Here!

Here is another one of the preview sets from the SU! 2016-2017 catalog -- Sitting Here.  There are all sorts of items that can decorate the swing -- pillows, potted plants, cat, dog, basket and a bird.  I stamped and watercolored the swing image, pots and pillows, then adhered them to the Brick Wall background.

Feast your eyes on the new SU! In-Colors for 2016-17!  The card base is Dapper Denim and the layer is Emerald Envy; the swirl is cut from Flirty Flamingo with a die from the Swirly Scribbles framelits -- which I can tell that I'm going to love!  I pierced along the swirls to give it some extra texture.

Botanical Builders!

I just got the Botanical Builders/Botanical Blooms bundle and I really like the results!  The large flower with the extra cut lines make the flowers pop.  I needed to mass-produce a bunch of invitations for a church dinner, so this is what I came up with.  It's different from my usual style, but I think that it's punchy and pretty!
