ICS Blog Hoppers Let's Sale-A-Brate

Happy hump day to you! Just two more days til the weekend!

I am so excited to be hopping with the ICS team this month... I must admit when you see what is in the Stampin' Up! Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalog you are going to die!

If you got to my blog by way of Jen Guarino, Welcome!

This month's hop is dedicated to our Occasions/Sale-A-Bration Catalogs so lets Sale-A-Brate!!

This month I went out on a limb and did a project too! If you follow me regularly I tend to do a project with most of the hops I participate in. 

I knew that I wanted to use the Birthday Bouquet DSP out of the Occasions Catalog. I just love the colors used in this DSP. My card base is Mossy Meadow card stock. I matted the floral DSP with Blushing Bride. I then took the corrugated paper and cut it 1 3/4" x 3 3/4" and wrapped the Blushing Bride satin ribbon from the Love Blossoms Embellishment kit and adhered it with the Liquid Multipurpose Glue to the front of the card. Next was my sentiment. I made this using the Rose Wonder Bundle. I stamped the frame with Blushing Bride and the sentiment with Soft Suede. My Big Shot got to come out and play to cut out the label using the die from the bundle with the magnetic base. To give this a more vintage feel I sponge daubed Soft Suede ink around the edges. I knew I wanted to use flowers for this. Somehow the Flower Shop Bundle kept creeping its way back to my work space. I stamped two flowers, One in Blushing Bride and the other in Mint Macaron. I of course used the Pansy Punch to cut these out. To coordinate with the label I also rubbed the edges of the flowers with the Soft Suede ink. I then brushed on clear Wink of Stella on the stamped image. You can kind of see the sparkles below...

Thank You so much for hopping with us tonight! Make sure you tour the whole hop! I can't wait for you to see what Deb has cooked up for you!
