May is when the flowers are starting to be in full bloom. Spring is ending and summer is just around the corner. So for the May Blog Hop we were challenged to make something with flowers. Here is the link to Nichole's blog with all the Blog Hop details. You have all day to enter if you haven't yet posted your entry.
I just received my PTI order two days ago and my Waltzingmouse order came just before we left on own trip. I used a little bit of both. The stamp set is Garden Variety. I LOVE it and know it will be a favorite! I also used the Garden Variety dies and the new Picket Fence one. I like using foam as a backing layer for the buttons cut from cardstock. A different color adds contrast and the thickness adds dimension but I still have an easily mailable card. I used a stamp from Waltzingmouse Gingham and Company to create the gingham fence--black on Pure Poppy! The tools are cut from some Bazzill textured cardstock and I used PTI vellum for the sentiment. A couple of score lines were added at the bottom.
Looks like there are lots of entries already posted so I have much visiting planned for the rest of the day.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the Hop!
