Gorgeous Garden dies & Blending Brushes; wow!

August 14, 2023

Check out this beautiful card made with the Gorgeous Garden dies!

I think it's stunning. Don't you love the pretty blending of the greens? I simply added one color to the finished die-cut. I cut it out from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added Pretty Peacock ink with a blending brush in a few areas. Easy!

I was surprised that the finished color (after adding Pretty Peacock to Lemon Lime Twist) was close to Shaded Spruce. Who knew?! So I added a 1/4" strip to the left edge of the card to bring in that color and also stamped the greetings in Shaded Spruce too.

Tip: Adding your colors in two or more ways to your project gives them a cohesive look. For example if I use green card stock I will add a layer of green or a stamped image. If you struggle with choosing color combinations stick with just two colors. Or better yet try a monochromatic card – add one color to a neutral like white, browns or black.

I used the Lasting Joy set for my greetings. I really love this set with the mixed fonts; I find I use it often.

I added a stitched circle to the left side to anchor the greeting. Both of these dies are from the Stylish Shapes dies; they're a must have! See them here.

Here are the Gorgeous Garden dies.

Beautiful Vine Design with Oh So Ombre with video!

January 14, 2021

What do you think of the Oh So Ombre designer paper? Have you seen it yet? If not look here.

Save

It's a 6 X 6" pack of 48 sheets of Designer Series Paper. There are 2 designs and 4 colors in this pretty pack and it's FREE with any $50 order during Sale-a-Bration!

I created this card with it for a Flowerbug's swap a few weeks ago. The first card features the Bermuda Bay color in the pack.

Of course I chose to use all new products! The pretty stitched outline is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here. I love that they don't actually cut; they just stitch a pretty outline. You can really notice the Ombre since I switched the die when I inserted it back in the window. Watch how in the video.

The intricate die is from the Flowering Vines die. It's part of the bundle with the Vine Design stamp set which is where the greeting images are from. See them here.

Here I used the BlackBerry Bliss piece of DSP. Which do you prefer?

I hope you watch the quick video I made featuring these new products.
