Thoughts of You

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Wednesday !!!

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. I really wanted to accentuate my main frame so I added a bunch of layers but still kept it balanced. I added the sweet flower mold and finished it off with a beautiful stitched grosgrain ribbon. Hope you like it.

RECIPE:
Stamps: P.S. I Love You
Paper:  Coastal Cabana, Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Fresh prints DSP
Ink:  Real Red
Accessories:  grosgrain ribbon, clay mold
Tools:  full heart punch, scallop circle punch, circle punch

MDS Tuesday

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Tuesday !!!

It is time for My Digital Studio and I found a bit of time today to share a pic from our recent trip to Kauai. This is our second time in Kauai and we just love it. My DH and I had the grandest time exploring the island and enjoying the quaint little towns.
I started with a blank page, added the flower background and super size it. I added the DSP circles and put the buttons in between with the twine. Hope you like it.
