Today we are showcasing my Fabulous Holiday Fillers.
These elements are so fun! I had an absolute blast designing the card above and just seeing where it went as I stamped. You can see the demonstration for creating this card above in my video, but I'm writing it all out anyway. :)
I started by stamping the circle borders on all four sides to make a ginormous label shape. Next, I filled it in with the large polka dot circle in GKD Innocent Pink, the smaller polka dot circle in GKD Dark Chocolate, and finally just a few flowers,
again with the pink ink.
Next I added the semicircles in pink and the ducks in GKD Sweet Corn ink. Then I stamped the pinking border in Sweet Corn, masking off the ends of each to make a square in the center to frame up my sentiments, which I also stamped in the Dark Chocolate. Finally fill in the open spaces with the flower image and dots above and below and two tiny adhesive pearls, card complete! Base is GKD Pure Luxury Innocent Pink.
I just adore the Neopolitan ice cream vibe these colors are giving. Easily nix the baby theme and add a flower or heart from the set in the open areas to make it for your birthday girl bestie instead!
This design would also work really well to frame up printed wording for an invitation for a baby or bridal shower of birthday party, no? All these different borders and accents just have *so* many uses. It's never leaving my desk, I tell you!
