Pretty Elizabeth with Polka Dots!

Boy, my camera isn't helping to display the fresh summery feel of the colors on this card.  Please take my word for it... Fresh, Flirty and Fun.  Think 'watermelon' colors!
There's a few different components in this card that I'll share in a minute, but first... take notice of a terrific Designer Series Paper (DSP) that has hit the 'Last Chance' List.  So long Woodland Walk DSP - you're pretty little self will be missed!
Now here's the scoop on the Woodland Walk Paper (117389).

This paper is double sided and you will receive 12 total sheets; 2 pages each of 6 designs.  You can really get some super mileage with this paper because it's so neutral.  There is certainly a masculine feel to some of the patterns, yet you'll also find some simple florals.
The stripes are sweet and the polka dots rock! 


Pssst: I do believe the price of DSP will have a modest increase in the new catalog; you may want to grab a pack of this Woodland Walk paper before it's GONE for good!


Additional components to this sassy little card...
Card Stock: Melon Mambo, Garden Green, Whisper White
Ink: melon Mambo & Garden Green Classic Ink
Designer Paper: Woodland Walk *Retiring*
Stamps: Elizabeth (117120) & On the Grow (123077)
Sweet Extras: Basic Pearls, Scallop Trim Border Punch & SNAIL Adhesive

Imagine the Possibilities!

Imagine the possibilities when you use 2 punches, 3 colors and a tad of bling...
I received this pretty little number last month from my colleague and upline, Aly Shilling. 

I wanted to share this card with you for a couple of reasons.  First, 3 colors... that's it!  This could almost be considered a KISS 'Keep It Simple, Sister' Card (click here to read more about KISS).  The crisp Whisper White truly pops against the deep Concord Crush & sassy Melon Mambo.

The second reason is the punches... The curly label punch works overtime in this presentation, but it's sooo easy! Boho Blossoms (punch) gives the sentiment and the Whisper White a serious POP of color and personality.  And the little rhinestone jewels as the finishing touches aren't too shabby either!

Design Tip:  The curly label punch was used to pump out 13 pieces or punches.  The pieces are laid on the diagonal over the Concord Crush color for a very cool visual.  Your handy dandy paper cutter can easily take care of the punch pieces that are hanging over the end of the Concord Crush.
