These little babies have recently been sent out to my nearest and dearest so I hope that they enjoy them because they were a labour of love!
I have a "thing" for the Pool Party colour and knew I wanted to use the new tulle ribbon, champagne glimmer paper and Heart of Christmas stamp so the design just grew from there.
I'm still not sure if I like the Early Espresso or Crumb Cake tulle better ...
... or the background trees stamped in Crumb Cake spritzed with Pool Party or stamped in Pool Party spritzed with Crumb Cake - these are difficult choices!
I have to show you the difference that the new Stampin' Spritzer tool makes too. It's definately different to the Color Spritzer Tool which attaches to a marker. The new tool actually holds water and a few drops of whatever coloured ink you like (in this case Early Espresso) then sprays it on! How cool is that? Better yet, it's only $NZ5.95 for 2!
While I was playing with designs I had my first go at a step card which I thought I'd share too:
Stamps: Heart of Christmas, Lovely As A Tree, Woodgrain Background, God's Blessings
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Island Indigo, Champagne Glimmer Paper
Ink: Pool Party, Island Indigo, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Big Shot, Adorning Accents Embossing Folder, Labels Collection Framelits, Jewelry Tag Punch, Sponge Daubers, Color Spritzer Tool, Stampin' Spritzer, Pearl Basic Jewels, Linen Thread, Crumb Cake/Early Espresso 3 1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon
These all look amazing. I think I like the top left one with the crumb cake tulle. You can see more of the pool party underneath. I am also impressed with your step card.
