National Stamping Month Blog Hop - Hello Life

Welcome to our National Stamping Month Blog Hop!  We will be featuring 3 stamps from this campaign, Hello Life.  There is one for Pocket Scrapbooking, one for cardmaking and one for traditional scrapbooking.  If you have come here from Priscilla'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 39 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using thesestamps 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!

For my card I wanted to keep it really simple, so I started with the swipe stamp from the pocket scrapbooking stamp, and applied it to White Daisy Cardstock using Pomegranite Ink twice, the 2nd is in 2nd generation.  Then I took the Hello from the Cardmaking stamp and inked it in Sapphire and stamped it overtop of the swipes.  Next I used the new watercolor paints and brushes and choose the blue closest to sapphire.  I held my finger over my work space and gently tapped the paint brush onto my finger to create the splatter effect.  Lastly, before mounting to the cardbase I matted the White Daisy onto a piece of Sapphire Cardstock.  A very simple, but lovely card.

Now "Hop" on over to Haley'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!
