Punches that layer are one of the easiest ways to add some POP to a simple card, and this new Petite Curly Label punch is a nice change from the basic layering punch shapes. To add a little extra texture to the bottom layers, I misted/crumpled/dried them and then used the Color Spritzer to add some flecks of color. I also love the burlap look of the new Natural trim ribbon I used underneath the Sale-a-Bration ribbon.
On another note, I've been stocking up on Island Indigo and Pool Party as they are two of the colors I love and use most, and their turn to be "In Colors" is almost up... well, I just learned today that Pool Party and Calypso Coral WILL be in the 2013-2014 Catalogue, I assume as replacements for two core colors. That's all I know so far, but all my customers who love Pool Party as much as I do will be breathing a sigh of relief!
