Cloud 9 Blog Hop







I am so excited to be participating the very first Cloud9 blog hop.  I don't have too many WPlus9 sets to choose from yet, but that is why it is called a challenge, right?

Here is the inspiration photo this month:



I used the colors as my primary inspiration, and stamped a couple of images from Magical Moments in Pure Poppy, Orange, Zest, Harvest Gold, and Ocean Tides.  My sentiment and card base are kraft, a nod to the raffia on the table skirt.  I impressed the card front with the Canvas impression plate, to give the card a bit of texture.  I also used a technique I learned in a recent PTI Make it Monday video about masking the sentiment.


I'm off to check out the rest of the participants.  Happy hopping.


Supplies Used:
Stamps:  WPlus9 Magical Moments, PTI Think Big
Paper:  White, Kraft
Ink:  Kraft, Pure Poppy, Orange Zest, Harvest Gold, Ocean Tides
Other:  Canvas/Linen Impression Plate


Thanks for Visiting

  3. Fabulous card, Joyce! Love the colors and the images you chose remind me of the swirly paisley pattern! I haven't done a MIM for ages but I really liked the effect of a masked sentiment. It looks great on your card too!
