Image
  Welcome to our  November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop . In this blog hop we are featuring  Created to Shine.  This set includes 7 images! If you arrived here from ScrappinKaty’s  Blog  you are on the right track. This hop is a big circle. Just look for the next blog link at the bottom of my post. If you are just getting started on the hop, when you get back to me you will know you have completed the circle! If you get lost along the way, you can find the entire list of hoppers  HERE .  I really liked this stamp when I first saw it, because this has been my motto for the last few years.  I pray every day that I can be a light for someone that needs it.  I had so many designs in my head for this card but it took several tries to come up with one that I was happy with.  And, I do have to say... this end result was not the original design in my head!   I envisioned the string of lights having ONE light that shines bright than the rest.  To achieve this, I used 2nd generation stamping and

The Proposal

Image
Here is another layout for the Study Abroad album I've been working on.  This layout is the last layout in the book.  During their last week in Cuba, John proposed to Kayli.  One of the other students knew it was going to happen so he was prepared with a camera.  I was so happy I could save that special day in a layout for them. For this layout I used paper from Calypso along with Kraft cardstock for my base pages.  For my flowers, I used watercolor paints creating a wash of color.  Once it dried, I stamped several flowers from the Hawaiian Hibiscus stamp.   This is one of the new Clear Watercolor PML cards .   I painted it a light blue with my watercolor paint.   Once painted the hearts show up very well. Here is a close up of some of the flowers.   I'm not very good at watercolor detail painting so that is why I use the easy 'wash of paint' and then stamp method.   Products Used: Calypso Paper - X7210B Hawaiian Hisbiscus - B1527
