Home Sweet Home

Greetings Paper and Such Friends!!  Here today with a creation using the newly released Heart Strings.  I've used one of my favorite resist techniques using my Distress Inks on watercolor paper.  I used an MFT doily as my focal point hand cutting some fun flags for the background using lots of color to make the entire piece pop.

As a single embellishment, I used a white resin blossom that seemed oh so perfect! 

I added some quick stitching to break up the background just a tiny bit.

Thanks for coming by today!!

Greetings Paper and Such Friends!!  Today's a fabulous day as it's new release day at Paper and Such as the new set Heart Strings is being released.  I know you'll want to hop along with us to see everyone's gorgeous creations featuring this beautiful set!  If you've popped in to say "hi" then hi to you!  But if you'd like to hop with us please start right here!

If you are hopping then you should be arriving from Kendra's blog.   I'm sure she had a stunning creation to share with you!!

I've used one of the sentiments as my focal point today.

My papers are all from my scrap bin but are from Bazzill, Recollections, MME and Basic Grey.  I used an older MFT sketch as my starting point and let my design build from there.  I used my Oval STAX and Open Scallop Doily Dies to accent my project.

To fill the white space at the bottom of the sentiment oval, I used some coordinating paper, cutting it again with my die and trimming off just what I needed to accent the space.  I LOVE this look.  

I created two hand rolled flowers and combined it with one resin flower from KaiserCraft.  I hope that you have enjoyed my creation!!

Your next stop on the hop is Mindy!!  I know she'll have something wonderful created for you!
