Timeless Tulips Meet Parisian Blossoms
While I’ve been playing with the Timeless Tulips stamps, I’ve been trying them with different designer series papers. For this card, I used products from the Parisian Blossoms Suite from the Jan-June 2020 Mini Catalog.
This time, I wanted to try stamping the tulip and adding shading with sponge daubers. For color inspiration I selected this background paper from the Parisian Blossoms specialty designer series paper. It’s Petal Pink in color with a lovely line pattern in Cherry Cobbler. I love this paper, but I also picked it because I would not have put those two colors together. (more…)

My spooky bats specimen display is a little different than bats flying through the sky.

Color Revamp with Brusho Crystals

I was making a display board with Brusho samples for my catalog launch party and I wanted at least one new card. I have a stash of background papers using various Brusho techniques. When I saw this one I immediately thought “purple daisies!”
First, a quick lesson (more…)
