Love & Affection for Pals Paper Arts

IMG_3191-001It’s Thursday.  Are you ready to play with the Sketch Team at Pals Paper Arts?  This week the talented Sandra Conner is our sketch designer.  I reached for one of the sets which will be making its appearance in Stampin’ Up!’s 2016 – 2017 Annual Catalog…Love & Affection. What a wonderful name for a stamp set! Today’s card also features the new Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper and the new Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies.  Enjoy!

provide a perfect backdrop for the fussy cut blossoms from Love & Affection.  A few Rhinestones add a touch of sparkle! I can see myself using the Swirls Thinlits quite often.  This is definitely one of my favorite preorder items.

Whisper White Craft Ink was used to color the centers of the flowers.  I love how it looks on Crumb Cake card stock.  How about you?  The little bow was fashioned out of the new Whisper White Thick Baker’s Twine.  It offsets the white flower and helps to accent the white centers.

IMG_3191-003I did not hesitate to combine three patterns from the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper collection.  The leafy pattern of the Mint Macaron paper is very subtle.  Although the other two patterns are a little bolder, they are tied together by color.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card.  I’m not quite certain where this one is headed, as there are lots of people who make me ridiculously happy.  I’m sure I will have no trouble finding it a new home.  As always, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away.  Until next time…

    Oh how fun! What no pearls but rhinestones? Are you still out of pearls? Just kidding. I think I will definitely have to get those swirly scribbles thinlit dies. They just look like they would be too much fun! They look so fun with the rose garden thinlit dies for the leaves. Love all the colors – that crumb cake grounds it well. Love the pops of white and then the other colors and bold patterns. A fun take on the sketch. Love it!

    P.S, how did Jackie do or is this weekend coming up?

  14. Well worth every minute of fussy cutting! Love this mix of pattern and new products!
