Hi Peeps! It's time for another awesome round of inspiration! We had such an incredible turn out last month - I wonder how many players we will have this time! Before I begin, I'd like to say a very, very
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
to Dawn McVey!! It's her birthday today as she shared on her blog - o, yesterday!
As you no doubt know, the theme for this hop is to choose your own colour palette and make a project with it. My colour palette was inspired by a girl's bedroom, which I saw in an old issue of "Better Homes and Gardens".
To extend the challenge a bit further, I decided to make another clear card (my second!) I enjoyed the first so much ... and here it is:
The background is stamped with "Turning a New Leaf", the flowers are made using the "Beautiful Blooms II" Dies, and the Berry Sorbet blossoms are stamped using images from "Petal Power" and "Background Basics - Diamonds".
The largest flower, on the left, is cut from red felt, and some vintage paper made its way into the mix too.
That was meant to be my whole post - but then my PTI order arrived!!! The very first time my release goodies have ever reached me before a Hop! So I made a card in celebration in these colours too :0)
I added a little glitter to the rose image to try and get that 'dewdrop' feel ...
Trying to keep it short here, so I won't write an essay on the rest of it! :0)
Thank you soooooo much for taking the time to visit me!
Have a fabby evening! See you there!
:0)!!
