Consider It Cased

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Saturday !!!

I saw this beautiful card from Robin's blog ( Stamping Country) and I knew I have to cased it. I love how she used the scallop tag punch. I made a few changes on mine to make it my own, although I kept the colors.  I just cut the DSP to the size of my main panel, punch both and cut it after. I tied it with the twine from the Sale-a-bration. I stamped this sweet saying and added a few touches to it. Hope you like it.
Thank you Robin for this wonderful opportunity to cased you.

Playing with Colors

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Thursday !!!

Today's Playing with Colors are Blushing Bride, Real Red, Basic Black and for my Neutral I chose Whisper White. I wanted to do Valentine colors but instead of using cardstock I used DSPs. I think it turned out pretty good. I used the cut out heart from one of the retired DSP, stamped the heart and use the heart sizzlit to frame it. Hope you like it.

What a way to make use of scrap paper using the Fresh Prints DSP stack from the Occasions. I love this technique showing the burst of colors.

Hope you like it.
