Bordering on Romance with Framelits

Hello!!!  This is a swap I made for Stampin’ Up!’s Leadership Conference back in January!  It uses many of the new products from the Occasions Mini Catalog, including the Bordering on Romance stamp set, Labels Collection Framelits dies, and the Adorning Accents Edgelits dies.  I LOVED discovering that the Ovals from the Ovals Originals die (there are 3 sizes on the die) were a fun way to layer on top of the new Labels Collection Framelits dies.  I used an unconventional color scheme that I found on page 28 and 29 of the Occasions Mini Catalog:  Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Calypso Coral, and Pear Pizzazz (with a touch of Whisper White).  Just a quick note about how I colored the focal point.  The technique is called Burnishing and usually people use the Sponge Daubers to do it, but they were too large for this particular image.  So I used Q-tips to color it in instead!  Hope you enjoy this project!

Let me know if you would like to see a video on this technique!  I turned off comments on my blog for a week or so to try and get rid of the spam so until then, contact me at sarah@sarahlovestostamp.com or on my cell at 816.341.0208!
