This month we have approximately 20 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!

This first card I used 2 of the the Bestie series stamps, Oliva and Lucy.  I created the backgrounds using stencils and ink, and acrylic gloss sprays.  The balloons are coloured with Shimmer Brushes.  Too finsh off the card I added some White Dots.

For this card I used Smoothie cardstock for the cardbase, and the multi-window thin cut as a layer.  The pattern under the thin cut is a embossing folder that I inked with Smoothie to give it a soft appearance.  I used Snuggle Up stamp and thin cut set for the images and a sentiment from a well used sentiment set.  Finally, the card is finished by adding some coloured clear sparkles.  

This card was inspired by a card I seen created by a fellow maker.  I inked up white cardstock with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide and used the Floral Thin Cut.  The stamp set is the Daisy Meadows scrapbooking set.  I used the Stitched Scallop Brackets for the sentiment.  Markers used with Coral Blend and Alpine Green Blend.

This card also uses the Daisy Meadows Scrapbooking set, along with the paper from that collection.  The sentiment is actually printed on cardstock from my printer......when you don't have the sentiment, use your computer/printer.

My final card is using the stamp set Cherry Blossoms.  I used the Lattice thin cut for the background.  I hand cut the cherry blossoms.  Finally I added gold glitter gems to finish it off....simple, delicate and lovely.
