Are you ready for some fun?
The Impression Obsession and Flower Soft Design Teams are playing together for this hop!
As you make your way through the hop make sure you comment on each and every post. There will be 4 prize winners chosen randomly among the blogs:
Two $25 gift certificates from Flower Soft and two $25 gift certificates from Impression Obsession!!!
The prize winners will be announced on the Flower Soft Blog and The Impression Obsession blog on Wednesday August 18thth. Good luck!
If you didn’t start at the beginning of the hop please go to the beginning at the Flower Soft Blog.
For my card today, I chose the Wicker Swing stamp for my main image. I thought it would look great with Flower Soft and I was right! I decided to make this a summery card, so I used some Flower Soft Summer Mix for the flowers. I think you could use any color of Flower Soft to make this stamp fit any theme. I colored the image using Copic Markers and added some Stickles to the heart in the center. The sentiment is called Simple Pleasures and I thought it fit this image perfectly. There is nothing better than sitting on the porch swing visiting with friends!
Thanks so much for checking out my project. Your next stop on this blog hop is my friend, Laura Fulcher! Here is a fun fact about Laura that I bet you didn't know - Laura and I won the Paper Crafts Magazine Stamping Royalty Contest the same year! Laura won in the Masking category. That is how we became "web" friends. Some day I hope to meet her in person. I know you will love her project using Flower Soft because she is a wonderful artist! Enjoy your blog hopping!!
