Hey there! Today is the first day of the 2016 Occasions Catalog Pre-Order. Yay! I'm being very strict with myself and blogging before I start placing my order! lol!
Since today is pre-order day, I thought I would share with you an elegant swap I received from my friend Jennifer Cotton at the Dallas OnStage a few weeks ago. Jennifer was a Founder's Circle attendee in September where Stampin' Up! gave them the Birthday Blooms set, an Occasions Catalog 2016 sneak peek. Jennifer used this set, combining it with Mint Macaron and Whisper White card stock, Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron ink, the Banner Triple Punch, a Rhinestone Basic Jewel, and Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Lace Trim:
This is SUCH an easy-but-elegant card. I'm just DYING to CASE it!
Jennifer added just a bit of Mint Macaron sponging to add more color while keeping the card clean-and-simple!
This bloom is so gorgeous! I can imagine using sponges, blender pens, and re-inkers to color, as well as embossing in gold, silver, and black! Emboss-resist, as well as stamping and embossing on vellum are just a few of the techniques I want to try!
Birthday Blooms will definitely be included in my pre-order this morning! yay!
