Lacy thanks

OK, this may not be my usual style - a little too granny, a little too lavender.  But what IS my style is going over the top and piling it on!


Lacy stamps, lacy die-cuts, lacy punches and a whole lotta purple (aka Wisteria Wonder in SU-speak!).  Making it monochromatic helps keep it in line.

This next card adds some orange (Pumpkin Pie) and yellow (Daffodil Delight) which may seem a little dissonant, but somehow it all works.  Trying "odd" color combos is fun.  After all, its only paper.
The bird is hand cut, from a quick sketch I did on some scrap paper.  I cut the orange die-cuts and the  white border punched pieces in half to use above and below the center orange strip - saves time and stretches out your supplies (not that I'm in any danger of running out of that!).


It's fun to try a different style than you're used to....stretches your brain cells and keeps things interesting.

Come again!

  2. Lisa, I love your style! Sometimes I am afraid to add "more"! Love the orange & yellow, two of my favorite colors!
