Floral Celebration SOTM Blog Hop (August 2020)

Posted in Scrapbook Pages on 08/01/2020 08:00 pm by Wendy

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring Floral Celebration, which is the August 2020 SOTM . If you have come here from Katy Taylor’s Blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog.

This stamp set just screams “random stamp”! So I couldn’t help but use it in that way but I made it a little more subtle by stamping a flower on patterned paper with tone-on-tone colors. Our large variety of thin cuts make it so easy to add stitched touches to cards!
For the pink flower, I stamped it in Ballerina ink and then covered it with the Peach Shimmer Brush.

Products used are all Close to My Heart: Floral Celebration stamp set (August 2020 SOTM), Mix-in Paper Packet, Stitched Bracket Thin Cuts, Stitched Rectangle Frames Thin Cuts, Inks (Black, Smoothie, New England Ivy, Ballerina), Black Velvet Ribbon, Peach Shimmer Brush, Julep Shimmer Brush, Gold Glitter Gems, White Daisy Cardstock, and Cards & Envelopes.

Now “Hop” on over to Melissa Robinson’s Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Remember, the <SOTM stamp set title> is only available until <last day of the month>! Visit my website to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount!
