Spotlight on Art: It’s a Stella-bration!

Today’s spotlight comes from another wonderful Close To My Heart Consultant. Vicki Wizniuk, from Charlie Lake, British Columbia, wrote to tell me how she fell in love all over again with the wonderful products from the Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book. She said her heart has been stolen by Stella’s sweet, fresh, and funky papers; take a look at the beautiful artwork she sent in:

Wouldn’t you love to be on the receiving end of this gorgeous gift bag? I love how the cut-out piece from the handle turns into a perfectly complimentary flap. You’ll recognize the flourish from The Best Things stamp set and those fresh flowers from the Paradise Paper flowers really liven this up. To top it off, Vicki pleated some Lagoon cardstock to line the inside edge of the bag.
As if the bag was not gift enough, Vicki also made a 3” x 3” card to go along with it, using a pattern from Wishes. She also used many of the same products to tie the two items together. Did you notice the faux stitching she added in using her Chocolate marker? She used her ruler to keep the lines straight and then pierced holes every ¼” using the piercing tool.
Thank you for sharing these fresh projects with us Vicki! Email me your choice of prize and I’ll get it right out to you.
