Zoe Blog Hop

Welcome to the Zoe Blog Hop featuring anything Zoe! Zoe is a special hop from the group that brings you the SOTM Blog Hops. On our Zoe hop we have just shy of 15 participating bloggers. If you just happened upon my post, clicking the link to the next blog (typically found near the bottom of the page) will take you full circle.

I completed my order too late to receive my Bring Back My Pack — Zoe paper packet to create this Easter Card for my great-niece Emma, so I pulled out some scraps I had left from the Zoe paper pack that was released in Annual Inspirations 2015-2016.

Zoe Blog Hop - Card Front

My card was inspired by the tag on page 88 of Seasonal Expressions 1. To create the stitch edged Glacier strip I used removable adhesive to tape the die and strip of Glacier cardstock to a cutting plate to keep the stitching uniform and to keep them from shifting while rolling it through the machine. I used the rock and roll technique to ink the egg and blossom. I used a waterbrush to color the bow.

Zoe Blog Hop - Card Open

I carried the stitched edges to the inside of the card by again using the Stitched Rectangle Frames to cut the Glacier cardstock for the sentiment base.

In case you are wondering about the color differences between the Zoe paper packets..in Annual Inspirations 2015-2016 the colors were Canary, Glacier, Slate, Sorbet, Sweet Leaf, Whisper, White Daisy and in Bring Back My Pack — Zoe pack the colors are Canary, Heather, Mint, Smoothie, Sweet Leaf, White Daisy.
