Sweet Home Card

I enjoyed working with the subtle backgrounds in the "Sweet Home" paper pack. The Nestabilities dies from Spellbinders work so well with our white core paper, they add dimension & texture when using them to cut & dry emboss paper as I did with the scallop circle. Just sand the outside edges of your white core paper & Tada...you get instant character. The blue & brown polka dot flower started as one of our white daisy flowers. I sponged it with Crystal Blue ink & used Chocolate ink with the dot background stamp from "Spot on Backgrounds." I love playing around with flowers. Ink them, layer them, add pop dots inbetween the layers. Use jeweled brads for a center or try glitter or beads. Flowers make a great accent on cards or scrapbook pages.
