Happy first day of August! Can someone call to find out where the month of July went? I can hardly recall it already! I have the delightful task to showcase the new August Paper Smooches release every Wednesday in August as their Guest Designer. (Can someone pinch me please, just to make sure it is real?!)
Daisies and Paisleys is a fun set (wait, all Paper Smooches stamps are fun...) that features build-a-flowers and paisley elements, perfect for making your own backgrounds. I was inspired by an image of paisley wallpaper that I found on Pinterest and set to town stamping a variety of paisleys in kraft ink onto white paper and then filled in the background with aqua and portions of the paisleys in light kraft markers. This panel was adhered to a kraft base and stamped with a sentiment for this set as well. The trim is from May Arts, cute tiny pom poms which is new this summer, as well as burlap string.
Thanks Kim and Paper Smooches for having me guest design this month!
