Style Watch: Flock Together



Flock Together {Color Challenge}


A gaggle of geese.
A congress of pigeons.
A bouquet of pheasants.

Who knew there were so many different names for groups of birds? Whatever their name, grouping images is a great way to add interest to your paper-crafting projects. Create pattern paper, watermarked backgrounds or fun focal images simply by stamping the same image again and again.

The June inspiration colors {Simply Blue-tiful, Say Yellow to All Your Fans, and A Coral Necklace} offer the perfect opportunity to put this simple technique to use. I love to build backgrounds of repeated images and then add a few pops of color throughout.  Check out my approach for using these colors on a card...

Until later, Loverlies
