October SOTM Blog Hop - Twinkle




Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  We will be featuring October's SOTM, which is Twinkle, a set of 15 stamps.  If you have come here from Sheila's Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog.



This month we have  approximately 44 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

I've created 2 cards using this month's Stamp set. This first card is pretty simple, I stamped the string and the clear lightbulb along the left side of the card base. Then using the new watercolour paints, I dabbed yellow, red, green and blue paint.  To keep them a little more translucent I then used some tissue to take some of the paint away.


For my second card, I started with some White Pines patterned paper, and added some gold shimmer trim to the bottom of the card. then using the ornament stamp which has a coordinating cut from the Artiste cartridge. I stamped the image in Fern and Cranberry, both these colours are found in the patterned paper.  I used 3D foam tape to pop the ornaments. I used some twine which was left over from a previous years WOTG kit to hang the ornaments.  The sentiment is stamped in 3 stages.  First I used the back side of the circle of stars and stamped it in 2nd generation to create the base, then I stamped it the right way using Fern Ink.  Noel is stamped in Cranberry. This is also popped using 3D foam tape.



Now "Hop" on over to Melissa's Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!
