Week 4 with Patti

Thanks for stopping by today, are you ready for more beautiful stately projects from Patti Gilliam? On this sample, Patti chose to use just the single blossom from the hawthorn in "Stately Flowers 2" to create a pretty border along the top, popping each one up so they stand out like embellishment, isn't that sweet?
(By the way, I hope you like these single elements in the flower sets as much as I do! I love the versatility they add for stamping coordinating backgrounds or how much easier it makes to pop up single flowers where you want them over a cluster of hawthorn, rather than having to stamp the whole image out several times!) I think adding a scored background with the tiny black dots is just a brilliant way to coordinate with the little black stamens in the flowers' middles! It appears she also used the Copic she used on the flowers to add some custom color to the bakers twine to match (I could be wrong, though, you'll have to ask Patti to be sure!) :)

Last I want to point out how nice the pink decorative border inside is, not only for the design but for staging purposes! It looks so beautiful the way the pink at the bottom inside balances the pink on top in this photo.

She has another project on her blog along with step by step tutorial pics, so please check it out and leave her some love. Thank you again, Patti, for being my guest designer this month! You rock!
