Woo Hoo!!! The hop is HERE! I'm excited to be hopping along again and have so much to share this week. My first share is this fun card created using a fun little sentiment from Joy Clair. The sentiment comes from the Coffee Quotes stamp set. It's a great collection of quotes that work perfectly as stand-alone sentiments or as embellishing elements on any crafty project.
I created this card by first applying some watercolor splats using a sheet of acetate. I just applied some watercolor on the acetate and then laid my paper onto that. After that, I splattered some watercolor using my brush and my finger. I stamped the sentiment then watercolored with some watercolor pencils.
Did you know that Joy Clair is a Super Sponsor of the hop? Yes, and as a Joy Clair DT member, I get to share in the excitement by hopping along and featuring some amazing stamp sets this week. Throughout the week, I'll be sharing several Joy Clair creations and I hope you enjoy. Joy Clair will be awarding one lucky HOP participant a $25 gift certificate to their online shop! Make sure to hop along and comment away for your chance to win!
I like to add some machine stitching to my cards so I just did a meandering stitch over and over using some white thread. I think it gives the card a bit more to talk about...Helps it along a bit. The little piece of Rinea Foil added a bit of whimsy and allowed me to apply some star punches for embellishments. I added a little bronze ink splatter too.
Mounting the stamped panel onto some coordinating cardstock was the finishing touch before attaching it to a white (topfold) card base. I had such a fun time creating this card! I hope you like it!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
