My design inspiration for my Badges & Banners “hello” card comes from this week’s Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA304) by Lisa Ann Bernard. Discover what the rest of the PPA Design Team has created with Lisa’s sketch and play along here.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- The new Badges & Banners stamp set coordinates beautifully with the new Best Badge Punch. I couldn’t wait to crop out the bird cage for today’s card!
- Save 10% when you purchase the stamp set and badge as a bundle!
- The pretty floral pattern is from Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper. Enjoy my FREE Designer Series Paper Color Coordination Chart here.
- The perfect touch! New Mint Macaron 3/8″ Sheer Linen Ribbon is dreamy to work with!
- A coordinating Regals Enamel Shape in Island Indigo accents the “hello” sentiment from Sunshine Sayings Stamp Set. The new enamel shapes made the list of My Favorite Things from the annual catalog.
