Whoo hoo!! Today's a super fun day for me and for YOU :) Join me today along with Embellish Magazine for a blog hop filled with creativity, tips, inspiration, and prizes!
There are 4 fun prizes being offered by Embellish for 10 lucky people. All YOU have to do to win one of them is by commenting on each of the blog hop participants (a list is below!)! Winners will be randomly selected from each of the blog hop participants. The comments left on each of the blog hop participant's web sites will give you an entry to win one of the prizes, which include Lawn Fawn stamps, May Arts twine, Subscription to Embellish Magazine, and A New Design crinkly stained ribbon.
And now, here's my card!
Stamps: Dot to Dot (retired)
Paper: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Taken with Teal
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Little Leaves Sizzlit, Playground Designer Buttons, Fleurettes, Real Red Grosgrain, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Linen Thread
We were challenged to use the colours of the magazine which were Red, Brown, Kraft, and Turquoise as well as to add twine! The twine on this card is relatively small in use but it certainly serves it purpose! I also used this week's Fall-to-Layout from Clean and Simple stamping as a jumping off point -- a little lack of mojo this week ... BUT, I'm very happy with this clean and crisp card!
I created the scalloped border by punching out three 1-3/8" circles and then taping them together. The ribbon nicely hides the joints :)
Thanks for visiting my blog today! Please check out the rest of the hop!!!
