Just Inklined Blog Hop

It's the first Monday of the month so that means it's time for a blog hop over on Just Inklined.

This months host is Lori and her theme is Handmade Flowers & Lace.

Here's my DT card.

I've these stamps for about a month now and have been itching to use them...... just never had the time!  This set is called 'Poinsettia Farm' which you can buy HERE at Just Inklined.  

I used ProMarkers to colour the image, glitter is the usual chameleon glitter from Debbi Moore Designs.  I used a Cuttlebug folder for the embossing and the flower was cut using Spellbinders dies as was the lace and the holly leaves, a Cheery Lynn die.

Don't forget there are 2 spot prizes up for grabs, the winner will be chosen from those who leave comments on the DT blogs.

If you're following the hop in the right order, you arrived here from LORI, and now you need to hop to JOYCE.

Incase you get lost, here the correct order for you to hop.

Here's my DT card.

 I decided on a change for this one, not the usual coloured image.  I used a Memory Box snowflake die, cut out a few times.  I also cut one out and cut it up for the corners.  I used a Cuttlebug folder to create the embossed panel, the ribbon and lace are from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated.

A closer look at the snowflake.  The glitter is, as usual, chameleon glitter from Debbi Moore Designs.
