I popped up the gloves for some dimension. Pulling together images from several sets creates a fresh feel to your crafting and helps you get out of the box of using images entirely from one set.

My Samples for Today:
Card #1--
One of the things I love best about digi stamps is the versatility they have for creating your own scenes. I've taken images from Doodle Garden Color Set and the Garden Accessories Color Set, layered them all and added little grass patches from the Doodle Garden Color set on top. The sentiment comes from Garden Inspirations Sentiment Set.
Card #2--
One technique I try to use in crafting is echoing. You can do these through repetitions of color or shapes. Here I used a die that echoes the shape in my designer paper. When I'm designing digi papers I try to match a lot of my color choices to Stampin' Up! cardstocks because that's the mainstay of my stash. My computer and printer do a phenomenal job of printing true to the color on my screen. So I usually get marvelous matches. My image, sentiment and dig paper all come from one new set, Cup of Tulips.
Card #3--
YOUR NEXT STOP is to Amy's blog at Lil Cutie Creations!
