Creatively Redeeming Treasures Team Blog Hop July 2013

Wow, we are already over half way through the year, can you believe it!  It is so amazing how fast the time goes by.  Does it feel the same for you?

 

"Welcome to the Creatively Redeeming Treasures Team Blog Hop if you are coming from Helen Gullett's Blog you are in the right place! If you are just stopping by, feel free to follow the links and hop the whole way through and see everyone's artwork. We will be doing this Hop every month on the 19th so make sure to scribe to my blog so that you won't miss any of the great projects!

In celebration of the wonderful food of the season AND our July Stamp of the Month - Sweet Life, I created this card. You can get your Sweet Life stamp set, valued at $17.95 at a 72% discount (only $5) when you place an order of $50 or more in Close To My Heart products. 

I also played around with our Exclusive Inks markers to create these lovely peaches! First I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black fade-resistant dye ink, as I have found it is the ONLY ink that doesn't bleed when using alcohol markers. I then used Buttercup, Blush, Cranberry, Pear, and Topiary to color the image.

I used Spellbinders Nestablilites Classic Ovals and Classic Scalloped Ovals to cut out the image after I had stamped and colored it. Popped that up on 3-D Foam Tape. I embossed the Honey Cardstock with a Sizzix Dots embossing folder, then used a corner rounder on all four corners. Then I layered this on a piece of Black Cardstock and used the corner rounder on that as well. Next I wrapped a piece of Color-Ready Seam Binding Ribbon around this panel. Tied a separate bow and attached that to the left side of the panel on top of the ribbon with a Memory Book Mini Glue Dots®.

I then attached the panel to the card base, attached the oval piece and then used the corner rounder once again! Walla, here you have it! 

If you would like to purchase any of the products that I have used, please contact me or head over to my Close To My Heart website.
