Best Catch and Beautiful Bouquet

I'm always happy to use product from the annual catalog,

because there are some excellent bundles.  Best Catch

(page 150) with the Catch of the Day dies (page 191), is a

great (masculine) bundle.  I love coloring that fish with

Stampin' Blends.  In this example, I created a background

by sponging Coastal Cabana and then stamping the vine

from Beautiful Bouquet.  I spattered a bit of water on the

background to give it a more watery appearance.

Inspiring Iris

I often make blank cards, because they leave things

open-ended when I need to quickly grab a card.

Inspiring Iris, on page 111, is a great set for a card

fitting a variety of situations.  In this case, I sponged

Granny Apple Green on the card base that had been

run through the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder.

For the focal image, I layer in the Iris over sponged

ink, silver foil and Polka Dot Tulle.

#loveitchopit with Good Morning Magnolia

Kylie Bertucci has come up with a wonderful,

#loveitchopit strip technique that is presented Here.

It makes use of scraps, and is very forgiving in terms of 

gluing the strips of Cardstock or DSP down.

In this example, I used Granny Smith Green, Calypso Coral,

Poppy Parade, Blackberry Bliss and Peaceful Poppies

DSP (Jan-June 2020 page 25).  The sentiment comes from the 

Good Morning Magnolia Stamp set (annual page 38) and was

cut out with the Stitched Rectangles dies on page 196.
