Creative Inking Blog Hop For July. My Favorite New Accessory
July 20, 2015
Welcome to my blog and the Creative Inking Blog Hop. I have many favorite accessories. The one I have played with the most is the new pearls with metal around them. I love pearls and these are so much fun. Because retro is so "in" right now I wanted to make a retro card. This is for an organized swap I am in at convention. I am using circles with the Schoolhouse Designer Series paper and coordinating card stock. With the pearls it gives it the retro look I was wanting. The stamped happy oval makes me smile.
For another organized swap for convention I made a Christmas card using the pearls as the focal point. To make it easy, I punched out a tree using the tree punch and cut the trunk off. Placing the pearls on the tree after I did this helped with the alignment. Thank you for hopping with us today and I hope you will sign up for my blog at the right so you do not miss any of my projects.

Oh my goodness Phyllis, that Christmas card is stunning-a real show stopper! Thanks for sharing!
