Welcome to the Hero Arts Flickr Group blog hop! I totally got the date mixed up, and wasn't expecting to post today, but luckily I had a card to share, even though the picture is awful (I seriously took over 75 shots of this card, and this one is the best I could get)
So the theme of the hop was just to focus on your style - I'm not really sure how to explain my style...I'm not shabby chic, or CAS....maybe CAS with a lot of little details....? I don't really know - I just make the cards! ;)
Instructions: Trim card base and cut out patterned paper. Sew patterned paper to base. Stamp images onto patterned paper and cut out, than adhere to doily. Stamp sentiment onto paper, cut out than frame with brown paper. Adhere embellished doily to base. Tie ribbon with button around base, and adhere sentiment on top. Distress edges of card with ink.
I want to thank everyone for the sweet comments yesterday - I am so excited, and can't wait to get my two copies! :)
I really am sending out hugs to any HA girls who might stop in here - you girls are soooo encouraging, sweet and kind! I'm so happy and blessed to be a part of this group!
Thanks for stopping in! :)

ReplyDeleteThat is a cute baby card.. it's too bad that no one I know is pregnant, I'd CASE the card so fast.. I just need to invest in some paper doilies.
ReplyDeleteActually, I could CASE the layout and make a different card with it. Must get some doilies today or tomorrow.
This is gorgeous! Love the colours and paper :)
ReplyDeleteso cute! the doily is the perfect touch!! super sweet card!!
ReplyDeleteSo soft and beautiful and I always love your photos! I like to think that I don't have any particular style either...in fact, it kinda wears me out when people tell me 'it's my style'....I like to think that I have many differing styles and I think you do too, my friend, fabby work as always!
