The little things~~

I tried another card with the FTL #156 from the CAS blog!

I used my Cuttlebug narrow strip embossing folder to create the pattern behind the circle image.  I used my tiny circle punch to create the Pumpkin Pie circles inside the flowers on the embossing!  The color combo came from the Color Coach, and I added Crumb Cake for a neutral.  Once again, my $1 bin greetings hit the mark!

Have you ever seen an item of clothing on someone and thought, "that would make a great card!"  I have!  Next time that happens, stop and jot down some notes......what colors were in the clothing, what stamp set do I have that would be great for that?  Then put those notes with your craft stuff and when you need some inspiration, ta-da!

Happy Wednesday to ya~~~

Fun Faux Silk~~

I adore the simplistic layouts like this one. You can showcase almost any stamp set with minimal effort!

If you haven't tried the Faux Silk technique, you should. It is super easy. If you know me very well, you know that I don't do complicated. So if I say it is easy, it truly is!

HERE is a link to the tutorial on SCS. Try it. If you have white tissue paper and a glue stick, you can do it!

I got my color combo from the Color Coach by SU.Real Red, Marina Mist, and Old Olive. Striking bold colors I think! I thought about adding more bling, but I was afraid it would take away from the technique, so I left it alone. I will be trying this one again soon!
