Ruby with Frost Print

I created this one to pair with the print below....

More Ruby and Turquoise Print

Looking at this image, I see what's typical for me...creating something that is fictional. On the other hand, my pattern that I designed in the background was created with layers and shapes and other self-made fabric patterns aiming to have the appearance of worn fabric. So, I then imagined worn soft slightly sheer drapes and deep red foliage outdoors which show through.

Woot Woot..Cool Crafty Mom!

Poplar Leaves Gocco Print

So, this is my first print with my PG Arts for paper, and I had a great time staying up until 1 this morning to finish these! Now, I'd like to talk some offbeat bride
into having me create her save the date cards and or invites with a design similar to this...perhaps using some common fish shapes and earth tones with be cool too! The offbeat bride is my new true soul mate! I just discovered her and I can't wait to read her book. I was just called a bride the other day by my hubby of 23 years, and I'm sure he and others think I more than qualify the offbeat part too. Offbeat bride is my soul mate and this is just one reason: I really believe that just because you are getting married doesn't mean that you need to wear the same shoe that everyone else has. Be different, be yourself and have fun planning and attending your own wedding. Find wedding components that display your personality and originality. Why not have orange and hot pink as your colors? The most beautiful bride I ever saw, wore a iridescent pea green strapless dress. She was stunning, amidst flowers found on a mountainside in Montana and sunflowers grown by her family in rich fabulous colors. I wish that would have been me! I'll see if I can't find some pictures some day of her.....sigh

Oh...and don't forget to check out the prints and more images of the poplar leaves on Etsy!

Gocco'd Wedding Invites

Well there is a bit of a glare on this image, but you can see it well enough I think. The ink is silver and brown on navy colored paper. It's a 5.25 x 5.25 card. This was all I had time to photograph this am before heading to the dentist office for work, but I had to put it up! I hope my lady in London will be pleased she has a beautiful set of wedding stationery coming her way soon!
