Mediterranean Blooms and Spotlight On Nature

The Mediterranean Blooms12x12 Designer Series Paper is quite simply – GORGEOUS! When I created these cards, I just used the DSP on the card-fronts and saved the stamping for the greeting on the inside.

The circles were cut from the fabulous Spotlight On Nature Dies…..a brand new set of nesting circles with unique patterns around the edges. I LOVE how the blue and white designs on the underside of the DSP is reminiscent of the Mediterranean tiles on the Greek Isles. These patterns take me right back to the beautiful scenery and architecture on the Island of Mykonos or Santorini – two places we had the pleasure of visiting a few years back. Instead of stamping and die-cutting a feature image, I simply fussy cut around the lemons and the oranges using my Paper Snips.

I then mounted the images onto the layered Spotlight on Nature Circles using Stampin’ Dimensionals …….

Before finishing off with some embellishments from the Opal Rounds Assortment (also from the Mediterranean Blooms Suite Collection)…….
