Guest Designer on Heart 2 Heart

If you are looking for the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - you can find it HERE

Wow! I'm really honored to be chosen as July's Guest Design on the Heart 2 Heart Challenge Blog! This month, each week,  I will be sharing artwork create for their weekly challenge.

During the 1st week of each month H2H will post an exclusive scrapbook challenge.  For July the scrapbook challenge is a color combo: Red & White Daisy with the option of Blue!  The layout must also have some sparkle AND sewing (real or faux) too!

I pulled out my spray mist pens that I had forgotten about and had some fun!   For my layout I used the Artbooking Overlay from "Celebration" but instead of putting the overlay on my layout, I used it as a template for my spray mist!  I mixed Cranberry re-inker with water for my red and I sprayed until I had a good coverage for the stars.    I removed the overlay and mixed Indian Corn Blue re-inker with water to give my layout a splash of blue!


I used my journaling pen to add some faux stitching around each star and around the layout border.
And yes! I added sparkle to my layout by using the sparkle flourishes and a little bit of red shimmer trim!

Come on and join in the fun at H2H!  I can't wait to see what everyone creates!

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
