The current challenge at
Catered Crop is So Shapely: using die cuts and punches.
I wouldn't have thought that would be a problem - I use die cuts and punches
every day!! But it's funny that when I needed to make them the focus I had a tough time with an original idea. Finally, as I was happily indexing and putting away a recent stamp order from My Favorite Things I ran across a "sunshine" sentiment which led me to pull out a variety of dies...
I wanted to show you a close-up with a little shadow on it because there is fun texture plate at My Favorite Things called the Grosgrain Texture Board. It's technically to be used on a long strip of paper with the texture vertical to mimic grosgrain ribbon. When you don't have matching ribbon, make it out of paper. I just needed a little extra something on my clouds - so I added the texture at an angle. (I do find that it works best if you lightly spritz the paper with water first.)
