I kept the same Brushed Blooms flower set, but used a few less and also changed the orientation of the gingham  strip.  The embossing folder is Woodgrain and the base card is a Raspberry instead of framed green on white.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Spring+Summer 2018

Well, the first day of the 2018 Spring | Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop has arrived!  Amy Tsuruta and her merry band of Coffee Lovers has graciously decided to host another hop.  They changed from quarterly to semi-annual this year and I am happy that gives these amazing ladies a bit of a break from all of the hard work and time it takes to put these events together.  A huge thank you to the 87 (WOWZA) Super Sponsors who are generously giving some amazing prizes also!

This has to be one of my favorite Blog Hops for fabulous inspiration from everyone around the globe participating :-) 

I posted 10 cards for the last hop and will try to beat that number for this one ~ hope you get the chance to play along!

MIM #322

MAKE IT MONDAY

Above and Below

Lizzie is up on MIM this week sharing a simple design technique that highlights a sentiment and makes it the center of attention. You can see her video and beautiful card HERE.

My Card ~
I die cut and stamped Brushed Blooms in purples, yellows and blues and surrounded (above and below) my sentiment which is  stamped onto a wonky stitched frame. I used a Sizzix embossing folder of large leaves to create a background panel then adhered all these layers onto Stamper's Select White card base. 

Thanks Lizzie for the tip on adding darker color to the edges of your flowers and leaf images to add depth and interest~ Love how this turned out! 😁
