In honour of the Suite Sale, I will be showcasing a different suite every week this month! This week was the New Kintsugi Inspirations Suite. Have you heard of Kintsugi? It's the centuries-old Japanese technique of mending treasured objects with lacquer and gold. Now, you can embrace the beauty of this ancient art using stamps, dies and paper with the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Collection! It features ceramic and fracture designs, patterned paper with gold foil detail, and gold embellishments.
It was fun to step out of my comfort zone using this Suite. I haven't used anything quite like this before. I cut out a bunch of pretty vases and bowls from the patterned paper, and then played around with some background patterns to suit my selections. I used the Spotlight on Nature dies to frame my vases (love these dies!). The sentiments are from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. To echo the touches of gold in the background paper and in the vase and bowl, I embellished with some of the new gold Flower Accents.
