Boy, this title says it all... It's been a summer "on the grow" for sure. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I've been busy finishing my teaching coursework and now we're knee-deep in summer camps and travel. In the midst of all of this personal fun, the new Idea Book and Catalog came out and I've gotten to see the Holiday Mini Catalog, which goes into effect on September 1. So many fun things! I can't wait to show you what I've made!
I made this card for a paper piecing challenge. I *LOVE* hydrangea blooms and I'm lucky to have a garden full of them (lace leaf and PGs), which mean a lot of pruning. :)
This layout is a versatile one that can be easily changed up for various occasions and themes.
Studio Suggestions: I used my distressing tool to rough up the edges of my punched circle and my paper snips to get the super-close cuts for the hydrangea blooms.
Stampin' Up! Supplies:
Stamps: On the Grow (Summer Mini Catalog, available until August 31)
Papers: Always Artichoke, Sahara Sand, Pink Pirouette and Early Espresso smooth card stocks
Inks: Early Espresso Classic
Accessories: Big Shot, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, paper snips, distressing tool, Modern Label Punch, Very Vanilla 1/4-inch grosgrain ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals
Thanks for your visit! I look forward to sharing my next project with you! Please drop me a line or leave me a comment if you've got a question...
