Thanks so much for stopping by today. Today, I'm having a part in the blog hop with the Stamp Review Crew. This is a group of stamping enthusiasts - each blog hop features ONE STAMP SET, thus showing how versatile that particular set it. Want to know more about me? Click here to find out.

Today, the hop revolves around a stamp set called 'Blended Bloom.' This is what the stamp looks like;



Sadly, this stamp has recently been added to the Retiring List. So, if you want to buy it, click here or on the image and buy it NOW (after you have hopped all of the way around first!)

Today's Project

Ill admit - I wasn't really super-excited by this stamp set. And, I didn't have a plan before I started making it. So, I kept going - and Im quite excited by the result - what do you think?


Probably the item that I am saddest about retiring is the Burlap. If you look over my cards, you will see Burlap as a recurring theme. Granted, there is a new style burlap in the new catalogue, and I know I will love it..... I cut the Burlap in half and frayed the edges to give an even more rustic look


I white embossed the image four times on Kraft and then 'fussy-cut' various elements of the flower and stacked on top. I wanted to highlight the top element a bit more, so I white embossed on black instead.


To give a bit more depth, using the bone folder, I folded up the edges of the petals on the flower. The sentiment is from Picture Perfect stamp set and I cut it out using a framelit from the Gift Card and Envelope and Trims Thinlits set (good news - BOTH of these items are NOT retiring).
