Delightfully Eclectic meets Blueberry Bunches

 I have been wanting to color these Blueberries for a loooong time!  Today I used water color pencils with the Delightfully Eclectric designer paper stack.  Boho Blue card base and this Plaid pattern make a nice back ground for this simple card.  A snip of Night of Navy ribbon and Sentiment popped up.



Here is a Tear & Turn of the same paper on Boho Blue card base.  These Berries were colored with Blends.  Circle Punches were used to Layer and a Postage Die for the Sentiment.  


And Finally a scrap on the table was a match for this Misty Moonlight card base.  Making cards in multiples helps me use my supplies!  This paper is the IN Color stack with more Boho Blue patterns.

More Pattern Mixing....

I love Daisies!  They were my Wedding flowers long long ago....these Paper patterns begged for some Daisy Flowers.  So I broke out the Cheerful Daisies Bundle.  I love this Die with multiple flowers and you can CUT them apart!



Petal Pink card base, Daffodil Delight mat and some random scraps of dsp (designer series paper) on my table that matched the Daisy pattern in the middle.  I matted the dsp on Daffodil Delight and then embossed with a Retired Script folder.  Cut the Daisy bunch in half and colored the centers with Blends.
The embossing really pops and the Postage Die is a Great size for the Sentiment.  Below is a close up look.
 

Here is a Full card of the Eclectic dsp on a Petal Pink card base embossed with Timeworn Type.  Totally different look and feel on this card.  This card really does LOOK like Spring!


This dsp was a Sale-a-bration offering and is maybe a Cosmo.....but the Daisy seemed to really coordinate and I love the colors!  Pool Party card base and the Large Daisy.  


Here is the dsp scrap version, when you cut (2) 5 1/4 X 4 card pieces you are left with a 1 1/2 X 4 scrap.  3 of these scrap pieces of dsp make a great back ground and since our paper coordinates you can really come up with some beautiful combinations.   Using an embossing folder gives Texture and adding Die cuts provides a focal point.  I hope you enjoyed todays pattern mixing.....

Pattern Mixing

 I am trying to use up paper on my Craft table.....all sizes and make some quick cards.  Perennial Lavender is stunning paper, get some before it is gone!  These cards are paired with Highland Heather and Mint Macaron card bases. Timeworn Type is the Embossing folder  I used and still in the Annual catalog!  Great embossing folder for ALL occasions.


I stamped this Sentiment on Highland Heather card stock and then embossed.  Super Simple and really lets this paper pattern shine!


I had some loose Doilies and small scraps, so the Doily Bridges the gaps and another piece of Highland Heather embossed adds the Texture.  Layered Circles for the Sentiment and Butterflies scattered.  When I cut dies, I cut lots and place them in a clear cup.  Then I can grab and glue without stopping to Die Cut!


This Hash mark scrap is from the Flowering Zinnias  designer paper and pairs well with the Perennial Lavender paper.  Don't be afraid to mix Designer paper and use all our coordinating products!  



Perennial Lavender designer paper  12X12 162593 $12.50


Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder  156505  $11.00


Flowering Zinnias Designer paper  12X12  163469  $12.50

Fractured Cards Embossed

 More Fractured cards today and this makes me think of Fractured Fairy Tales, an old cartoon from my Childhood.  Does anyone else remember?  Anyway I EMBOSSED and I LOVE it!  Fresh Freesia card base and this Tulip pattern from Delightfully Eclectic.  I stamped the Sentiment. adhered the 2X2 Square, added the Daffodil Delight strips and Embossed with the long retired Subtle embossing folder.  



and here is a closer look at this embossing!  The Sentiment and Fracture are more prominent than the Designer paper layer.  Love this Subtle look!!


And here is another stunning Fresh Freesia pattern from this paper stack.  Stamp Sentiment, adhere square and STOP!  I wanted the White Fracture to NOT have any texture.  SO I embossed and then added the White Strips.  Love this variation also.....


I don't remember the name of this embossing folder, but it was perfect!  Did not fight with the sentiment and enhanced the Flower centers!



Delightfully Eclectic 12X12 Designer paper   161640  $30.00  48 sheets  4 Sheets of each pattern!!
