More Inspired Projects with Kryssi and Natalie plus a GIVEAWAY!

Design team member Kryssi Ng created this gorgeous layout based on a website that inspired her.  Here's what Kryssi had to say ... "With one of my BFFs recently engaged, I've been browsing wedding sites a lot lately. I came across this image, courtesy of oncewed.com, and love the soft watercolor effect swish swashes in the background and decided to emulate that in my layout. I sprayed some color from Smooch onto a silicone mat, watered it down and used a paintbrush to messily paint over my paper canvas.  I so love the rich colors in Tree House that is suitable to use in Christmas projects."

Tree House Neighbors (751031)
Tree House Fun (751035)

Other supplies used:

Stamps (Hero Arts, Technique Tuesday)
