Just a fun little thank you card today! I used one of the new Paper Smooches Stitched Flourishes dies to create a waterspout for my happy whale. These stitched flourishes are so great for adding that little extra something to a card. A long time ago, I read a tip about card making that basically said, if your card feels unfinished, try adding texture. Add another layer, embellishment, embossing (dry or heat), or in my case today, stitching! (I wish I remembered what blogger said this little tidbit! It still a really good tip!)
To create the waves, I die cut a stencil using one of the Borders Dies 1 and blended ink over it. I love this technique because it's so much fun and gives such a soft look.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Mahalo and Aloha,
