INSPIRED ….

There are so many sources of inspiration when it comes to creating cards to give to someone special …

It might come from seeing the amazing ideas of other cardmakers …. or the fantastic products we can use …. or the versatility of those products …. or just the things around us.

I’ve seen the Beautiful Branches Thinlits used in so many ways … and because I live on the coast close to the southern most part of the Great Barrier Reef, I was inspired to create a coral reef scene.

If you have been looking at the Beautiful Branches Thinlits and the coordinating Thoughtful Branches stamp set … don’t forget that you only have until August 31 to order them individually or as a bundle. Contact me for more details.

Armed with Night of Navy, Cajun Craze, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and of course, Whisper White … this is the scene.

The layers help to give some depth … and I discovered the recessed thinlit technique thanks to Kylie Bertucci.

The Cajun Craze coral reminds of the beautiful waters off Capri!

The fish can be found in the new Seaside Shore stamp set and the sentiment is from the continuing Garden in Bloom stamp set …. both in the current annual catalogue.

SAIL AWAY, SAIL AWAY, SAIL AWAY ….

I’m definitely channeling music from my much younger years [a recent post alluded to Marty Rhone – ‘Denim & Lace’ and now today’s offering].

WHY?

Well, I wanted to use SWIRLY BIRDS to create my own boat … I have seen so many amazing nautical projects using this new stamp set!

… and, I also wanted to imagine I was the artistic sort … using PAINTER’S PALETTE … and here is my piece of art!

I can imagine a boat being named “CAREFREE”.

I know that I am definitely going to need to order a lot more Dapper Denim cardstock while it is available as one of the 2016-2018 In Colour palette.
