Scraps of Color 1st Blog Hop

Happy Hellos Everyone:

I'm so excited!!!

Welcome to the Scraps of Color Creative Blog Hop! Join us for a weekend of fun, creativity and prizes! All weekend long you’ll have the chance to create fun projects, be inspired and win! Get your crafty mojo flowing...just follow the 1st SOC Creative Team Blog Hop.

If you are here and following the blog hop then you are in the right place. However if you have just happened upon my blog and would like to join in the hop please start at the beginning of the hop here and work your way through each blog. Please leave blog love (comments) along the way and become a follower of the blogs you like so that you can be notified of their new creations and updates!

My project for the hop is fit for the season. It's a springy birthday greeting card. I must say, I love-love-love my Copic markers. However, I decided to use another technique for the hop. To create the flowers, stamp flower images onto a printed piece of paper (Note: the smaller the print the better for stamping purposes); cut and ink the core of the paper with dark ink; shape the flowers pedestals in an upward motion; place a dimensional in between each flower to create volume; finally, spritz your flowers with your favorite shimmer mist. (Hint: Lightly mist the flowers with rose water to give them a since of life.)

And I’m offering a prize for the items pictured below. All you need to do is leave a comment letting me know your favorite flower making technique and/or become a follower. Should you elect to do both, your name will be entered into the drawing twice to double you chances of winning some wonderful blog candy. I will announce the winner on Monday.

Remember, some of SOC Creative Team Members are offering blog candy and you never know where you'll find it. So be sure to visit each participating blog. I’ve made it easy for you to follow, just click the appropriate link below. Thank you for joining us for the 1st SOC Creative Team Blog Hop!
