I'm also sharing over at Just Us Girls, where Bobby has chose the word green for their word week challenge.
My intention in the new year was to limit buying of crafty products but this die set was too fun to resist.
I can't grow them but I sure have fun creating them with paper! I chose three shades of lime-y cardstock along with yellows for the flowers and grays for the pot. I then ink blended each die cut to create a bit of dimension, then put everything together to create my hanging houseplant!
When my husband and I bought our current home a few years ago, we were delighted that it had nicely textured walls and that's what inspired me to emulate it with an embossing folder. I used a rectangle die to cut the white panel before embossing it. I layered it on a panel of the same yellow that was used for the flowers, then "hung" the house plant and added the sentiment, which is part of the die set. Lastly, I added a gold pearl as a "hanger".
What does this color pairing bring to mind to you? For more inspiration, head on over to the challenge (link above) where my super talented teammates and Guest Designer Michele have their lovely creations to share with you. The challenge remains open until Saturday March 29th at 9am EDT and I hope you will join us!
Thanks for visiting and take care!
