In This Together Blog Hop

Welcome to the In This Together Blog Hop featuring items from the In This Together special. This is a special blog hop from the group of CTMH Makers who bring you the SOTM Blog Hops. On our In This Together hop we have over 15 participating CTMH Makers and 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.

If you are arriving from ***Michelle Loncar's Show and Tell, with Michelle*** then you are on the right track; a complete list of participants can be found at Melinda Everitt's If You Bling It.

For this hop I created a card to send to someone across the miles. To supplement the stamps from In This Together, I used the Every Bit of Wonderful stamp set where $7 USD are donated to Operation Smile™ to provide surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates in children around the world.

I stamped and fussy cut images from both sets. After determining how I wanted to place the images, I stamps some foliage stamps behind them.

I had planned to use the Floral paper from In This Together with the stamped and fussy cut images, but when I layered everything together, I thought the card had too much happening. I tested a few other papers with the stamped and fussy cut images, but nothing seemed right, so I cut a piece of White Daisy and splattered it with Grape Shimmer Brush.

Once the Shimmer splatter was dry and I determined where I would place the stamped and fussy cut images, I stamped some extra leaves on the White Daisy with Clover ink. I adhered the elements with a mix of adhesives to create dimension. The final touch was to add Diamond Stickles™ to the flower centers and Glisten Stickles™ to the small round flowers part of the large floral spray.

  1. I love this card, it is beautiful. I think it was the right call to use the white daisy instead of the pattern paper. Don't you just love it when a card comes together?
