Brilliant Backgrounds

Do you ever look at your finished project and think "well, that's kinda boring!". Image looks great, sentiment is sweet....but that background is just bleh! 

Here are three ways our Prickley Pear Design Team takes those backgrounds up a notch. 

Irit is the queen of brilliant backgrounds! Remember her super cool canvas piece back in March? She's pulled out the stencils and texture paste again to make this textured background for the Let Your Faith Be Bigger sentiment.

Sharon's sponged a gorgeous scene with Row Houses. I could make my home sweet home in that scene!

 

And Tracie has done a little repetitive thinking with the Blobby Flowers 2 clear set. I just love how this one turned out! Sentiment is from the same set. 

 

Thanks for stopping by to visit today. We'll be back on Thursday with a Vintage Viewpoint.

Wicked Washi

Hello Prickley Pear Fans!

Today, we're getting sticky. 

 And while that could apply to a great many things, today it applies to tape - washi tape. 

Do you have rolls and rolls of tape that you haven't used? 

Do you eyeball washi tape in the store and wonder what you'd ever do with it? 

Well, let us tell you how Wicked Washi is....

because it's turned me into a believer (or buyer).

Tracie is up first, since she thought up this fantatic theme. She's used it as a background to the Coffee Cup clear set. 

(Psst...you can get this set and the matching dies 

for a GREAT price in the May Card Kit)

Next is Michelle with this udderly cute birthday card using Bessie the Cow and an Udder Year Older. She's used grass washi tape.

Lisa clearly has a washi rainbow happening, perfect for this Life Doesn't Have to Be Perfect sentiment from the recent May Release.

 

 And Heather (who was in total washi disbelief) is off to the store for more Butterfly Die creations. Sentiment comes from the Scalloped Circles and Ovals 4 - Floral clear set.
