At each blog you will need to leave a comment and on the last blog you must leave a direct link to the project you have made for this challenge. You will have until September 15th to complete the blog hop challenge!!!
I think that one of the flowers in the Tim Holtz tattered florals die lends very well to the poinsettia and decided to flock the petals to give a velvet finish! I have covered some chipboard with sticky back canvas and created a little christmassy note wish list book using my Cinch to bind it! The cover has been stamped using silver paint dabber and inking with distress inks. I tried to heat emboss the fabulous tall trees image but the canvas takes the powder very differently resulting in a bitty finish!
I actually made my tree decoration first, It has so many layers of grunge board and grunge paper, I masked the heart to apply the fun flock and finished the scroll heart with paint dabber! The crown has been heat embossed! It's a reversible decoration both sides the same just mirrored! The wings were created from sticky back canvas, so they remain soft!
AND the little ingredient I picked for one of you fabulous hoppers is the yummy, sparkly, sunshiney Hero Arts Pearls & Gems that adorn the centre of my poinsettia!
So if You haven't guessed my letter by now ha ha ha it is... Y and all you need to do now is head on over the Fabulous Linda who's ready with the next letter in line!!!! GOOD LUCK and hope you have hopping fun along the way!!!
Happy HuGs Kim :)
