Woven Stripes Watercolor
You know I love a great background stamp! The Woven Stripes set fits the bill for sure. The lines are crisp and interweaving to create something a little more interesting with intersecting vertical, horizontal and diagonals. As you’ll see, all of my projects use the same color palette, Midnight Violet, Tide Blue, and Warm Gray Collection grays. For this design, I went for some faux watercoloring and it turned out gorgeous! All I had to do was stamp the sentiment and use some coordinating enamel dots!

meadow builder & modern alphabet
The new Meadow Builder stencil set is really fun as it will create an overlapping, organic look that you can layer in lots of different ways. Once I completed my stenciling, I cut out a smaller square for the focal point, backed with a piece of purple cardstock.
You’ll be happy to know that the Modern Alphabet stamp set works with the Linear Pathway Alphabet Solid Dies. You’ll have to diecut first, then stamp, but they fit! Yippee!

hugs, doodles & crystal walls
I loved pairing the Fancy Hugs die with the Doodled Triangles stamp set and a triangular cutout of the Crystal Wall 3D embossing folder for extra texture. It’s my favorite of the bunch!
