Paradise Palms with Wave of the Ocean DSP

 This card is a companion to the one posted Monday.  I used

the Palms dies (Mini, page 25) to cut elements out of the

Waves of the Ocean DSP.  I added the sentiment from the 

Paradise Palms set.  The card is finished off with a couple

of Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.  

I am happy to announce that Paradise Palms and the 

coordinating dies will be in the new 2022-23 catalog.

DSP Pattern with Sharing Sunshine

 This card was great fun, although it might give some people

(Susan) hives.  The technique suggests that you make tick

marks on the back of the card stock, so that you can line strips

up in an orderly fashion.  Bah humbug on that idea.  "Random

stripping" is so much more fun.

I cut strips of Pattern Party (page 171) and In Good Taste DSP

into 3/4 inch strips (confession: some were larger).  Then I

started in the center and glued them in a somewhat circular

pattern, being sure to cover up ends of the card stock.

I added a simple sentiment from the Sharing Sunshine set

on the cover.  Since the outside cover was a bit "crazy", 

I added a slightly sarcastic comment, 

from Light Hearted Lines to the inside.

Quiet Meadow with Meadow Dies

 This is one of my favorite techniques, in which you 

punch a shape in a scrap of paper, and use Blending Brushes

to shade inside the shape.  For this card, I added a flower from

the Meadow Dies, cut out of the Waves of the Ocean DSP.

The sentiment comes from the Quiet Meadow set.
