Off we go!

This month I was able to use this card for two projects: the Blog Hop and my monthly card swap. The tricky part was that with the card swap I have guidelines to follow. I had to figure out how to use the Surf’s Up paper with detailed images of fruit!

In the end I decided to use the stamp with the peaches and the floral patterned paper. I think the little flowers in the paper look a lot like the peach blossom on the branch!  

Here's what I used. All products are Close to My Heart unless otherwise noted:

S1307 Sweet Life stamp set

Z1375 Kraft Cardstock

X71638B Surf’s Up paper packet
