‘m back with more inspiration to share for National Embroidery Month. Now, I am #teamsplatter all the way. I love adding ink splatter of all colors to my card projects and the artsy, mixed media look it gives. But because I am encouraging you to try new things, I decided to as well! Instead of using white acrylic paint for splatters, I used white, metallic DMC thread. It is super simple.

I’m back sharing some inspiration using one of the newest dies in the Poppystamps shop. It is a beautiful floral frame, perfect for spring or summer cards. I have a feeling it will be very popular. I decided to use the frame die in a slightly different way by cutting it up.

Sharing a card I made with a set from the newest release from MFT Stamps that I haven’t used yet. I have been loving the 4.25 inch square card so I wanted to create one here. I also love making my own patterned paper using stamps so I used that technique here too. Lastly, my color palette was inspired by a previous MFT Color Challenge.
