There are more than 50 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their artwork made using the Stamp of the Month and other great CTMH products. Hopping is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one. The Blog Hop is a great big circle. Start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find a complete list of participating consultants here.

Off we go!

 

Our swap group decided to switch things up for this round. While I was assigned a card this time, I will be doing different things in the coming months. The biggest challenges for this Stamp of the Month are the size of the stamps, and then I needed to combine them with the Chantilly papers. I felt like what I would call the reverse side of all the patterns made the best color scheme for the sayings in the stamp set, so that’s what I went with. I really love these colors together, as well as the patterns.



My card is fairly simple, but with all the patterns I thought simple was best. I sometimes find it tough to fit one of the Zip Strip borders into my design, but this time I thought it worked perfectly! I love the pop of Outdoor Denim.
