Shining Brightly Sampler – Part I

Every year my Inker Stamp Clubs are invited to participate in a 3″ X 3″ Christmas Sampler Swap. The colors used are based off a Designer Series Paper pack. All the swaps coordinate because the same colors are used weather you have traditional or whimsical piece. This year we used Shining Brightly Designer Series Paper that has Basic White, Blueberry Bushel, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, and Shade Spuce colors.

I cut my 12″ X 12″ Basic White Cardstock in half down the middle and embossed each side with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. I then added the FA LA LA LA paper from the Shining Brightly Designer Series Paper in the middle covering the split. I added a layer of Crushed Curry behind all of the 3″ X 3″ swaps to tie them all together. I spaced the squared on the page using a spacer I made. You can see how I space them in my Painted Christmas Sampler – Part I post.
