Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think....

Something Saturday - Bleach and More Wishes

 Hi there Creators

Today I was playing with the fabulous More Wishes Stamp set, one of my favourite saying's/word sets in the annual catalogue is Biggest Wish and I was excited to see More Wishes which uses the same fonts and lettering size so they coordinate together.

Then I may have got a bit carried away, and couldn't resist creating way more with the gorgeous paper, and trying out what the bleach looked like with the different colours.

Then as I'd decided to use blue, I then had to find different designer paper for it, so, go the Winter Meadow designer Paper (so pretty!)

I hope this inspires you to dig out the bleach and create.
