Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Balloon Talk, a set of 24 stamps. If you have come here from Michelle Johns' Blog you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultant's HERE.

This month's card is showcasing my Technique Tuesday class.  I created feathers using Smoothie Striped and Gold Polka Dot Washi Tape along with Slate Stripe Twist Ties for the stems.  I also used Lagoon Houndstooth Washi Tape for to create a flower.   Two fun and easy techniques that I will teaching in my class.

I created a background on the white daisy cardstock with the Flight of the Arrows (D1578) stamp and Desert Sand Ink.   I stamped the "Thanks" with Smoothie Ink.

For more information on my Technique Tuesday Class check out my Upcoming Events tab.

Now it is time to hop over to Melissa Laverty's blog to see what she has created!
