Three Amigos May 2017 Blog Hop Challenge

Welcome to the Three Amigos Blog Hop. We are three Close To My Heart Independent Consultants with a love for stamping and scrapping, and would like to share our creative ideas with you. On the 3rd of each month, we feature a different CTMH product and create a card, layout, or other project. There are only three stops on this hop, so it will only take a few minutes to hop through. When you finish hopping, be sure to check out the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge!

This month we are sharing projects using the Little Dreamer paper pack (papers or featured colors) from the new Seasonal Expressions 2 Idea Book. The featured colors are black, blossom, emerald, glacier, lagoon, lemon, tangerine, thistle, and white daisy.

I decided to make a card using a few of the featured colors (black, tangerine, thistle, and white daisy). I made a card base from thistle cardstock and lined the inside with tangerine cardstock.  I stamped flowers from the Keep Dreaming Stamp Set with black Momento ink along the bottom of a piece of white daisy cardstock using the masking technique. Then I trimmed the bottom edge, following the lines of the flower petals. I stamped and fussy cut four extra flowers. Using tangerine and thistle inks, and a couple sponge daubers, I added a touch of color to the center of each flower. The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set, which is part of the Flower Market Cricut Bundle.

Three of the extra flowers are popped up using thin 3-D foam tape for a little added dimension. The centers are adorned with clear sparkles.

I added the fourth extra flower to the inside of the card to finish it off.

Thanks for hopping by today! Hop over to Lisa's Blog and Donna's Blog to see what they created for you, then over to the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge. We hope you play along!
