CTMH Doodled Borders SOTM Blog Hop - February 2021

Welcome to the February 2021 SOTM Blog Hop featuring the stamp set Doodled Borders. This month there are over 20 CTMH Makers sharing projects created with the CTMH Stamp Of The Month Doodled Borders. Our blog hop is a circle where you visit one post after another (typically via a link near the bottom of the post) until you reach the blog post where you started.

Doodled Borders stamp set

Below is the first card I created with this stamp set.

The background was loosely inspired by Card 1 from the Happiness Lives Here Cardmaking Workshop (G1222). I stamped with Charcoal ink on White Daisy Cardstock. This panel was layered on Charcoal cardstock before adding to the card base. The sentiment was stamped using Charcoal on Linen cardstock that was cut from Stitched Hexagons Thin Cuts. The flowers are from Every Bit of Wonderful stamped with Intense Black ink on French Vanilla cardstock. They were colored with a variety of TriBlend™ Markers then fussy cut. Some of the leaves were inked with Fern then rolled in New England Ivy. It is hard to see in the photo, but Diamond Stickles™ Glitter Glue was added to the little round flowers and as a "gem" on the Hexagon.

I was quite a bit more literal and deliberate when I stamped the borders on this card. It is a little sad that the sentiment and flowers over up some of the borders, but I am still very happy with the end result.The borders were stamped with Pewter ink on Pebble cardstock. The flowers, leaves and sentiment were completed very similar to the first card.

A few weeks ago a saw a card shared on Facebook that used the Stitched Hexagons in a random, flowing way, but I do not remember if they cut them from cardstock or patterned papers. I got the idea to cut them from French Vanilla cardstock and use stamps from Doodled Borders to stamp in either Canary or Avocado then I added them to the card in a flowing way. I accented with flowers from Every Bit of Wonderful.
