Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!
We have a great new two week sketch for you today –
Optional Theme : Embossing
We are also pairing up with Double Trouble for an added challenge to the twist! Check out the twist!
I am personally challenging myself to using the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper* this week! It is retiring soon and I just haven’t played with it much. Just look how pretty it is –
And, this is how the sketch and paper coe together –
Simply beautiful wouldn’t you say?
I found a pretty bouquet of flowers from one of the patterns and fussy cut it. I found a coordinating or contrasting pattern to place it upon. Before I did, I embossed it with one of the Stitched With Whimsy Dies turned like the sketch.
I added the flower bouquet using dimensionals. I also embossed the card base using the largest Stitched With Whimsy Die creating a subtle border.
These are a favorite of mine – they turn a plain card into a wow card! Easily!
What do you think? Just a pretty as can be, right? Stay tuned this week for more ideas using this retiring paper!
