Please join The Stamps of Life and Clearsnap for a blog hop featuring The Stamps of Life stamps and Clearsnap inks and other fun products. Make sure to comment on all the stops along the hop because prizes will be randomly chosen among the comments.
The Stamps of Life will be giving away 3 prizes – one stamp set (of the winner’s choice) per winner.
Clearsnap will be giving away an assortment of Stephanie Barnard Colorbox Premium Dye inks.
Along with the blog hop, my card was made for our Blogger's Challenge this week as we think of our Mother's, Sister's, Aunt's, Grandma's, etc.
Of course when I began this card, it didn't go as I had envisioned it but after about 5 attempts I finally got it the right way and even went back and made another one. My background is embossed with the
Butterflies & Flowers Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. I took my Color Box Paintbox ink from Clearsnap and pressed it onto my white cardstock, then used clear embossing powder to emboss it. I wanted that rainbow effect behind my die cut dragonfly from the Dragonfly Die Cut set from The {Stamps} of Life.
I knew I wanted a Mother's Day card to mail off to either my Mom or my Mother-in-Law and think either one of them will really like this one. I finished it off by stamping the sentiment in ColorBox by Stephanie Barnard- Licorice from the Stamps4fancylabels set and added some crystal jewels as a trail behind the die cut.
Now don't forget that The Stamps of Life will be giving away 3 prizes – one stamp set (of the winner’s choice) per winner.
