Today I'm sharing two projects using the various optional add-ons:
This first card uses the Starry Night Brushstroke Bold Prints along with Luna the Halloween Cat stamps and coordinating frame cuts.
I used Distress Oxide inks with the Starry Night Brushstroke Bold Prints stamp.
Next up is a card that uses several of the new add-ons:
Let's start with the base panels. The Foliage Mix Layering Paper one has the Vine Pattern Bold Prints with Pine Bold Ink. The Earth Mix Layering Paper has the Starry Night Brushstroke Bold Prints embossed in clear. I cut a couple of the Autumn Icons Fancy Dies in Foliage and Sunshine.
The cute squirrel has been stamped with
Soft Vanilla (solid image)
Soft Brown (detail)
Soft Granite (outline)
The acorn:
Soft Vanilla (solid image)
Soft Brown (detail)
In case you missed it, I was up on the Hero Arts Blog on Sunday with this Countdown to Creativity project:
My focus was the Main Kit. There is a vellum panel in between the background sunflowers and the single image which really makes it the focal point of my design.
That's it for me, next up is the fabulous Clare Prezzia! In case you get lost along the way, here's the hop listing:
