Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop May ’17
We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are featuring projects that are “stepped up” by using textures or fun techniques. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.
You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.
Oh goodness what fun i had getting ready for this hop. Not 100% sue that what was in my mind made it to paper… but I am thrilled with the results. Above you will see the three cards (top photo is basic, bottom right is stepped up & bottom left is really designed to create an whole new look.
This is the simple card (see above) created using the stamping off technique for the background and a bit for the sentiment card.
This card is just stepped up a bit… again create your unique background, use the big shot and add a little bling with the wink-o-stella!
This third and final card has a little extra even above the stepped up version. Featuring textured embossing, watercolor was with WOS & your sentiment and then on to the ribbon and a mini tassel!
To purchase any of the items used in my project or to see the actual recipe for this card, click on any of the items or the TAMS link below the hop list and through the magic of the internet you will be swept along to either my online shop or the card recipe. Remember to comeback here so you can continue with this AWESOME hop!
