Now, onto my projects!
For the first one, I used the brand new Swirly Doos set! L-O-V-E! This set allows you to mix and match different sentiments along with a little sunburst-inspired image. Simply fantastic.
I stamped the burst in a light green and then I added a little dark green to the center and to the lines. I treated it like leaves. Then, I cut apart the card and added a blue strip underneath and pieced the white base back together. It gives a little more interest than a normal strip added to the top of a card. I created the flower by hand with different punches and tools!
For my second card, I knew I wanted to do something fun with confetti since I was using the birthday sentiment. So, I punched out some blue & white confetti and I placed it in a glassine bag. I stamped the burst from Swirly Doos on the bag.
I also added Chevron Chase to the background and I cut a banner using a square punch to create the end element. Fun, huh?
Still craving more inspiration???
