Fruit & Flowers, Petite Pairs

These were my team swaps for our last quarterly meeting.  I partially embossed the Whisper White layer with the Stripes embossing folder for my background.  I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch (page 116 in the main catty)  to delineate the Whisper White embossed section from the non-embossed section in Poppy Parade.  I then matted it on to […]

The photos are taken with my phone, so I […]
