Happy New Year to all my crafty friends! I don't know about you, but I've got lots and lots I want to accomplish this year and I can't wait to get started, and I'm excited to share our first CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop of the year, which featured the January 2017 Stamp of the Month, the lovely "Adore You" set. You should have arrived here from Lauren's blog but as always, hops are circular so you are welcome to jump in anywhere along the way and simply follow the links until you've made the rounds. A complete list of this week's participants is included at the bottom of this post in case you get lost along the way. So now let's get to my project!
details: I chose one of my favorite retired CTMH papers for this one, called "Roxie." I added a little extra shimmer by using my clear ruler and gold metallic marker to random lines on the plaid patterned paper. I stamped the heart and flower image on the red panel (actually a retired shade called Tulip) with Memento black ink. On a separate piece of lighter colored paper I stamped and heat embossed the flower portion of that image as well as the sentiment (from a retired stamp set called Big Hug). For the inside, I stamped the larger sentiment in (retired) Tulip ink to coordinate with the front and the XOXO in black.
Edit: I wasn't quite happy with this card so I came back to it a day later and made some changes, which I liked a lot better, so I thought I would share it too:
I love this set! I am betting this one will become a real go-to in my collection for scrapbooking as well as wedding, anniversary, and those fun little personal "I love you because..." kind of notes.And now it's time for you to visit Terrie's blog and see what she has in store for you. We hope to see you again on 1/18/17 when we will bring you sweet inspiration based on the new Sugar Rush paper kit and it's colors. Happy crafting! ~~ Annette
