I'm slowly working through my new catalog wish list, one paycheck at a time :) There are so many fun new stamp sets!

 This Bokeh Dots background stamp really caught my eye, but I wasn't sure how I'd ever use it. It's small for a background, and I'm truly not very creative. But I knew lots of ideas would pop up from other talented people, and it would be an awesome addition to my ever growing stamp collection once I got it figured out.

 Enter the Dandelion Wishes set. How did I not see this the first time I flipped eagerly through my catty? I mean, it's so cute! And it compliments the Bokeh Dots set perfectly. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to do a sentiment that said "Wish" in it. Didn't we all make a wish while blowing on dandelions as kids? Nostalgic. 

For this card, I used the following Stampin' Up! products available for purchase in my SU store:

Paper: Whisper White Cardstock, Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper

Stamp Sets: Dandelion Wishes, Follow Your Dreams (sentiment), Bokeh Dots

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Tuxedo Black Memento

As always, thank you so much for stopping by. And I hope you found something interesting to inspire you here today.

Follow Your Dreams

Today I'm sharing a card that I created for a new catalog card swap with my team. I've always adored dream catchers. They have a magical quality to them. And, let's face it, they're just so darn pretty. So I was really excited to see this set in the new catalog. 

I used an aqua painter to pick up color from the lid of my ink pad and sweep it across the shimmery cardstock. It is kind of fun to get messy sometimes. And the effect was just what I was looking for.

I'm sort of addicted to sequins. They add such a whimsical, pretty touch. I think they are the perfect finisher for nearly any card.
