Waves of Inspiration Birthday

 One of my sisters has a birthday coming up.  I think that she'll like

this Waves of Inspiration card,

that uses the coordinating DSP.  I love that pelican,

positioned by the "porthole". 

Waves of Inspiration with Waves Dies

 Stampin' Up! has just released this wonderful

bundle; the Waves of Inspiration cling set, with coordinating

Waves Dies.  This bundle will be in the upcoming catalog.

 The wave stamp is like a painting and the dies enable

 you to further highlight or create other elements.  I will be 

posting many samples with this bundle!!   I bought the entire

collection, which includes the set, dies, coordinating DSP,

12x12 Foil Papers and Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.

In this example, I did a lot of blending with Blending Brushes,

including the sky and colors in the waves.

I added gulls from the Sailing Home set.

Perfect Plants with Garden Dies

 I enjoy the Perfect Plant dies on page 160, because they are

fascinating to use with DSP.  The DSP lends shades and shadows

without the work of coloring or shading.  I set the plant pot

on a shortened ladder from the Garden Dies (Jan-June 2022)

on page 80.  I used the SAB DSP,  Simply Marbleous

(page 10) and the Hostess Pattern Party from the annual catalog.

I used Embossing folders to add texture.  The sentiment comes

from the Calming Camellia SAB set on page 17.
