Textured Notes

I seem to get stuck on the same color combos … over and over again. I have really been trying to step outside of my “go to” color box and try some new things. Here is one of those attempts.

Azure Afternoon - I’m going to be honest. I have been VERY drawn to this color from the moment I first saw it, but I haven’t used it tons!

I started with a 3.75” x 5” piece of Basic White cardstock. I then used one of the images from Textured Notes to create a patterned piece of paper. Azure Afternoon ink stamped all around the edges of the cardstock.

The layer on top of that is made from one of the dies in the Textured Notes Dies. After cutting it out I then used one of the Glass and Garden Embossing folders on it. I also stamped the same image from the previous layer in Balmy Blue.

The little rattan circle image from the same stamp set is soooo pretty. I stamped it in Crumb Cake and then proceeded to tear around the edge of the image. I attached it to the cardstock and then tucked the little branch sprigs from the Mixed Labels Dies in and around it.

The image on the top is also from Textured Notes, stamped in Azure Afternoon. I fussy cut this one … no die for it and I actually LOVE to fussy cut! I little bit of ribbon, linen thread and a few little dots and I was done!
