Hey!

I'm running a bit behind but here is my creation for DESIGN in PAPERS this week, I keep going back to the Stitched collection by Amy Tan, the colors are so pretty. I made a watercolor background with the same color scheme and added one of the new PrettyCraftyStuff tags. This one you can use as is, letting some pretty background paper showing through the slits or do what I did. Weave in the pretty papers to make a decorative tag.

I added some wood veneer and god thread and called it a day. I don't think it needs more decorating. It's also a great way to use up some of those paper strips that is to pretty to throw away.

Thanks for stopping by!

I was in the zone the other night, making Christmas cards and listening to a good audio book. I was going to make one card for a DT post later this week but I ended up making three. For this I used a couple of Hero Arts stamps and the deer head cut file I created for Pretty Crafty Stuff. When I made it I saw it in my head all gold embossed and 3d mounted with threads behind. I love the deer head trend. I also made a raindeer, a fox and a bunny to keep him company. 

Anyways, I wanted to frame him så I stamped a background from Hero Arts and just masked the middle of the card using a PostIt. It's very pretty this card, don't you think? I never get my gold thread as perfectly nested as other people do, mine looks all messy and uneven. But I keep trying. One day I'll learn. 

Thanks for stopping by! There will be more Christmas in the blog soon. Promise! And I don't even send out Christmas cards, more than to the closest family. But I'm in a Cristmas-y mood lately.

I always had trouble with the color navy. But lately I started to think it isn’t really that bad... With some gold and white it actually looks... almost good... Well, I decided to explore my newfound (almost) liking of navy and made this card. I’m still undecided... I still get the image of going to Domus (appartment store from my childhood) and seeing the ill tailored old lady jackets with shoulder pads, navy polyester fabric and gold buttons... I want to see chic crisp fresh New England kind of images... I’m just not there yet... I'm thinking I should go with crisp white instead of vanilla and maby a dash of pink. I'll put that on my to-do-list.
