Let it Ride Pines

This is a different approach to Let it Ride on Occasions

page 45.  I think that the pine trees are a great stand alone

item.  I paired the pines with the Gingham Gala DSP

on page 35.  The SAB Organdy Ribbon Combo pack

on page 7 completed the card.

Sadly, the Gingham Gala DSP is not available right now.

Dear Doily with Butterfly Gala

Looking at the images from Dear Doily (Occasions 2019 p 47),

I thought the circle punched doily images looked a lot

like an old doodling technique called zentangling.  

There is a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers HERE.

This is a very simple card, given my limited stamping supplies,

so I layered the circles on a strip of Wood Textures DSP

(page 191).  The sentiment from Butterfly Gala 

(Occasions page 35) was stamped in the corner.  

I colored some candy dots with Stampin' Blends!

in order to coordinate with the Coastal Cabana

card base.  I liked the fact that this ended up feeling

a bit "Southwest",  likely because 

of the patterns and color combination.

Dear Doily with Geared Up Garage

I never have enough condolence cards.  Often, I'm 

stymied by the fact that I need to come up with something

elegant, yet get it into the mail quickly.

That was the impetus behind this card.  I used the flower

from Dear Doily (Occasions 2019), the cloud from

Geared Up Garaged (Occasions 2019) and the 

spatter of dots from Timeless Textures (Annual Catalog).

This card was fast to stamp in Mint Macaron and Soft Suede,

 with a bit of Mint Macaron Baker's Twine added

as the finishing touch.
