It's H{ippity} Hop Monday
and I am coming to you from the Hilton Garden Inn
in beautiful Middleton, Wisconsin.
I LoVe the internet!
I spent seven whole hours....
creating...shopping...chatting...shopping...playing
and shopping at Archiver's today.
I will share more on my little excursion on Tuesday,
but here is a little photo that Paul snapped after I finished
the project for this post...
Now...back to The H{ippity} Hop!
For a complete list of the other talented
folks who are 'hopping' with me, click here
for a direct line to the Ippity Blog.
I really enjoyed making the 'elements' for this card.
I pulled out the 'Tattered Flowers' die from Sizzix/Tim Holtz and
started making a whole bunch of blooms.
These particular ones were created by using VersaMagic inks
in a variety of colors...just layered one on top of the other
to 'build' the color. I then stamped each one with
Ippity's 'A Bit of Burlap' stamp.
I then shaded the edges using Distress Inks and VersaMagic.
I then stamped this fun journaling image from
Ippity's 'Fall for You' set.
Placed the blooms randomly, added a few pearls,
shading around the borders and done.
If you have not tried Ippity stamps yet or have and do
not own the above images yet,
this week is a great time to add them.
It's time for the Ippity Double Deal!
