Incredibly Proud Of You ! - Kylie's International Blog Highlights

Thanks for coming to my blog today. I am so happy to be taking part in Kylie Bertucci's blog highlights. 

This is a monthly card challenge and you get to chose the winners! There are lots of creative people from around the world taking part and a ton of inspiration. 

The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop together later in the month. It would be great to be part of it, and would love if you would vote for me.  You can vote here

The theme we have is encouragement, this sentiment from the Incredible Like You stamp set says it all!  I've teamed it up with the Daisy Delight stamp set. The large daisy is gorgeous but I feel some of the smaller images in this set are often overlooked and just as beautiful. 

The flower head is stamped in Memento Black.   The inside of the flower head is stamped in Daffodil  Delight with a little Crushed Curry ink added to the stamp using a sponge dauber before stamping.  I used the dauber with a little Crushed Curry Ink around the head of the flower to give the impression of a warm haze. Use a very light hand for this but I like the effect.

The "Incredibly Proud Of You" is stamped in Smokey Slate onto Whisper White and cut out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I've tucked a little of the Gold metallic thread behind to make it pop and some Granny Apple Green Ribbon with a simple knot to finish it off

This was one of the cards I made for my May card class. All three used a combination of Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate and Granny Apple Green. 

Dimensions
