Friendly Topiary


Hey, so glad you stopped by today. This is one crazy week for me. Sometimes I often wonder if it's worth going on vacation because I work like a wild woman trying to get ahead so that when I get home, I'm not behind. Crazy, huh? I'm working on projects for the Gina K Design sneak peeks, IHP DT Challenges, challenges due for Paper Craft Planet, and then there is the TLC projects. EEEK. Come this Friday though, all that preparation will either be done, or it won't get done...lol. I've reserved next Saturday and Sunday to spend with my dear hubby and packing for my trip to CHA in Orlando.

Today's project is one that was inspired by Silke Ludlow. I just adore her clean and fresh style and how she can turn a simple image into a work of art. Silke uses lots of clean lines and all of her projects are truly masterpieces in my eyes.

My project is a topiary image from Thinking of You from Gina K Designs. I thought this topiary would look nice together with some Porcelain Paper from Basic Grey. Kate at i {heart} papers carries all of the Basic Grey 6 X 6 pads, including the new June Bug and Lemonade. I added a few panels of the designer paper and added some awesome satin ribbon by May Arts that I also got from i {heart} papers.

I adorned the corners of my images with some lovely pearls by Zva Creative. They are self-adhesive and are super easy to use.

{Supplies}
Stamps: Thinking of You (Gina K Designs)
Paper: Pure Luxury White 120# (Gina K. Designs), Porcelain (Basic Grey)
Ink: Coffee Bean (Vivid)
Accessories: Pearls (Zva Creative), Green Satin Ribbon (May Arts), Paper Piercer, Word Window Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, Copic Markers, Scor-Pal, stick pin from stash
