Make the Day Special 'May' Blog Hop

Hello Everyone....

Today is our first blog hop over at Make the Day Special, a few of us Design Team girlies are showcasing the same stamp set and we hope to bring you a different set of stamps each month but for this first hop we are all using the Lawn Fawn set called Blissful Botanicals....


Lawn Fawn stamps are great to work with, they stamp like a dream and are perfect for colouring or paper piecing. Emily is the only UK stockist of these and many other International brands of stamps that would otherwise incur big postage and customs costs to buy from overseas, just pop over and visit the store for a browse at the end of the hop... I can highly recommend it *wink* :0)

The hop is purely for fun and to show you how each of us has used the stamps, I can't wait to go look at the rest of the projects as well....we kept it as a surprise to each other too :0)
You should arrived here from Clair's blog but if not, you can start the hop at the Make the Day Special blog.  This is the hop order:

  1. Make the Day Special Blog
  2. Clair
  3. Jenny (that's me )
  4. Kate
  5. Lucia
  6. Ruby
So with just six stops its a short and sweet blog hop and without further ado here's my card...


The thing I love about Blissful Botanicals most are those paired leaf fronds...they're fun to colour and look cute fussy cut, especially with a white edge to them!! I stamped them in Black Memento and coloured with Promarkers before cutting them out and making my little flower arrangement. 
I didn't want to pass up the chance to play along with a couple of challenges so I'm also entering my card into Retro Sketches and a new Colour Challenge blog called Dynamic Duos...



So now it's time to hop onto Kate's Blog to see what flowery goodness she has in store for you.... you know what, I might just see you there :0) 

Thanks so much for hopping along with us
