Have you enjoyed The Craf festivities so far? Today is the last day of the May release and we are celebrating with a blog hop! You should have arrived from the talented Julie Ranae's blog. Did you know that you have the chance to win the entire release by visiting and leaving a comment on each blog on the hop?
Thank you for your lovely comments yesterday regarding the two sets I designed for The Craft's Meow. I really hope that you will love working with them as much as I have! The card I'm featuring today showcases images from Retro Foundations. I masked and stamped repeatedly the circle image in the set (which could be considered a disco ball....) in a few purple hues and finished with a sentiment and hand drew in the strings/cords for the lanterns. I also added a bit of sparkle with a pen, but unfortunately, my camera didn't pick that up as well as some rhinestones where the string met the lantern for additional sparkle.
A few details before I send you to the next stop: yhere's a full list of participants and the order on The Craft's Meow Blog and, the deadline to comment is 9:00 PDT, Wednesday, May 23rd. Typically Teen is May's Gift with a $50 purchase from The Craft's Meow!
Ok, prepare to be inspired as I send you over to Lindsay Amrhein's blog! She's the next stop!
