Here at House of Cards it's the end of the term. We are saying a fond farewell to some of our DT members and feel so grateful to those staying on. To say goodbye and thank you, we're celebrating with a blog hop! You should have arrived here from Judy's blog.
This hop will run FROM June 1ST AT 6:00 AM CST THROUGH June 15TH AT NOON CST, ANY CARD STYLE is welcome and we've got a gorgeous photo inspiration for your crafting enjoyment!
Here's our photo inspiration~
I LOVE this photo! There is so much inspiration here-the colors (which is what I used), the flowers, those square ottomans, leaves, a little yellow, even a W and an H. And that is what I see just at a glance! So here is what I created from this picture and our Awesome sponsors:
This is a definition stamp and for me I saw it at the right time. I have 2 wonderful friends in my life who are going through some tough times. And this sentiment is perfect for a card for each of my friends. Here's how I used it.
These swirls are from the Silhouette store. I used ribbon to outline the sentiment and some bling. I love pink and green together!
I had to get a little messy. I used Picked Raspberry, Peeled Paint, and Mustard Seed Distress Paints for the background. The leaves are a Tim Holtz die cut and I cut red line paper so I could put a fine glitter on it. I sponged and sprinkled water on the sentiment itself after I used the raspberry distress ink on it,
In this photo there you can see the sparkle a little better.
The frame inspired this card. I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder. For the pink butterfly I used Picked Raspberry distress ink. I also used it around the base of my card. The Thank You is from the tags stamp and I used mowed lawn for that.
I always need Thank you cards so this was perfect!
