Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers hop for July. This month we are excited to show off the brand new In colors from the just released 2015 – 2016 Annual Catalog. We hope you find great inspiration from the projects.
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Claudia Perry or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects. At the moment you are visiting Claudia Perry.
I decided to use Watermelon Wonder and Delightful Dijon together with a tiny dash of Tip Top Taupe:
For this card, I wanted a "sunset" look and thought I'd try that with my Watercolorwash Background stamp! I used my brayer to apply Delightful Dijon to the bottom part of the stamp, cleaned the brayer and then did the same in Watermelon Wonder to the top part and let the colors overlap some. Then I stamped the flowers in black memento and sponged the bottom heavy to cover up the different heights of the bottom of the stamp.. and sponged around the edges to complete the look. This time I wanted the antennae that is part of the larger butterfly stamp, so I also stamped it onto my background piece. Then when I had punched out the 2nd one I glued that shape over it and that did the trick! (I am posting a supply list on the very bottom of this post...)
Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss. Remember that currently you are at my blog - Claudia Perry, so check the blog hop line up list to see who is next in the list:
