Lattice Elements of Style

Here's one of my favorite cards from the last class. I just LOOOVE the set Elements of Style. (#118611 wood, #120045 clear mounted) It made it into the big catalog from the current mini, and I am so glad it did. We all need to have this set in our bag of tricks!

We used one of the retired colors as the base - Brocade Blue may you rest in peace! I will miss this color a little - until I start playing with the new colors!

The other must have piece of equipment here is the new Square Lattice Embossing folder for the big shot. (#119976) After the card stock has passed through the Big Shot in the embossing folder it almost feels like it is fabric. Amazing! Make sure that this little jewel is on your next order!

The focal flower image was stamped in Stazon on Watercolor paper and then we used the aquapainter to color them in. Using the watercolor paper makes it so easy to get an incredible water colored image. Give it a try if you haven't yet! (SU! sells them pre-cut to fit your regular card in a pack of 20. Item #105019 )

Handy Dandy Hint: to get your background image to look softer, but still match perfectly, use a third generation image! That just means that you stamp off the first image TWICE on your grid paper before stamping it onto your cardstock.

So, go to my webpage and place your order now for these fabulous tools... you wont regret it at all!!
