March Blog Hop

Hi! 

Welcome to another little blog hop!  Today's hop will feature a sketch that all eight of us have used for inspiration.  You should have come from the very talented Ros Davidson's blog, and you just need to keep on hoppin' 'til you get back to where you started.

Here's the PageMaps sketch we all used:


And here's the card I made.  I guess you'd say it's quite a loose interpretation of the sketch!  I rearranged some of the elements and turned it into a square.  I used a new punch from the upcoming Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue instead of the postage stamp and the ribbon replaced both the longer vertical panel and the wavy postmark lines.


I kept the sentiment in pretty much the same place, but omitted the trim it was anchored to.


Instead of the lower trim I used Crystal Effects to 'colour in' a row of polka dots on the DSP.


So that's my card!  I love it so much I'm tempted to make another 4 - one in each of the other In Colours.  It would make a lovely gift inside a matching box.

Stamps: Bliss (SAB), Just Believe
Ink: Peach Parfait, Early Espresso
DSP/Cardstock: In Colour Hostess DSP, Whisper White, Peach Parfait
Other: Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Crystal Effects, Stamp Positioner, Sponge Dauber, Decorative Label Punch, Word Window L Punch, Modern Label XL, 1 3/4" x 7/8" Oval L Punch

That's it from me - you're now off to see how the sketch has inspired the wonderful Amy Buchanan.

Here are the other blogs in this hop, just in case you lose your way or a link is broken.
