I have two cards to show you today for the hop; two VERY different cards. The first is using the new "Handbags" stamp.
I have two cards to show you today for the hop; two VERY different cards. The first is using the new "Handbags" stamp.
This next card is for all those like me who like to try something just a little bit different!! I was inspired by the artist Mackenzie Childs. She always used these amazing checkers on her work along with wonderful florals. Since this image was so whimsical, I decided to try it out. I really do like it even though it is so different for me. The stamp is called "Summer Church"
Here is what the tag looks like using "Vintage Backs" and "Quotables - Celebrate".
Your next stop is the ever so fabulous crafter, ELISE.....and if you get lost along the way you can start again at the Ideas to Inspire blog
Don’t forget to also stop by the Ideas to Inspire blog tomorrow evening when you can find out who the lucky winners are of those great prizes
Enjoy the hop… and good luck!
Hugs, Dena
