Good morning! Today the Ellen Hutson Design Ambassadors are hopping with some products from Catherine Pooler's latest release - Forever 13! Details are below.
As I often do, I fixated (who, me?!) on one stamp from Sweet Life and explored it for a while. Here's the evolution of my thinking:
Watermelon semi-circle stamped in rows to create a solid, vertical background. Finished with a sentiment and a smile made from the watermelon rind and a solid dot stamp from the set.
Similar idea, but horizontal, and I created full circles with the semi-circle stamp rather than offsetting them. I started adding tone on tone 'decorative elements' and of course I immediately saw those dots as eyes.
So I made some bees, and created my own sentiment with some masking. This card also has 3 of the patterned papers on it and I want you to notice something. Both the dot patterns fit perfectly on an A2 size card - there is symmetry when I used them as borders - that, my friends, is called good design, which we always get with Catherine's products!
