Mad Hatter Blog Hop!

Hello everyone!
Have you seen all the new goodies available at  the Lindy's Stamp Gang store recently! Well, if you haven't, here's a little peek!

I totally love all those vibrant colors, don't you? 

Well, I wanted to let you know that in honor of the new releases, there is currently a blog hop going on, featuring some of the lovely designers whom I'm very honored to work with, on the Lindy's Stamp Gang's DT.  

I don't know if you've had the chance to meet all of the designers yet, since many of them have joined our team just recently, but this Blog Hop is a great way for everyone to hop on over to their blogs, get some inspiration, and show them some love. Want to join in the fun? They've been hard at work with the new products, and their creations are sure to inspire you.

Mature and Girly Birthday Card

Happy Labor Day everyone!

Today, I wanted to share with you my inspiration piece for the Lindy's Stamp Gang's September Color Challenge. Every month, LSG puts out a great color combo to inspire, and all the design team members have a lot of fun playing around to show different interpretations of the inspiration picture. This month the inspiration piece was the one below.

 Definitely not a combination I use very often, because I find that I do not use a lot of purples, but I gave it a try and used some of my favoriet Hero Arts and Stampin' up stamps to create the following card.

I used two different LSG embossing powders in this card: Oak Leaf Olive Gold and Magic Moon Pearls. I also used a few Starburst Stains: Green With Envy Green, Tea Pot Purple and Cosmopolitan Pink. I have a detailed video tutorial on my YouTube Channel, on how I created this card, and in it, you can see how all the materials went from being white, to being colorful and shimmery.
This is a perfect birthday for a mother, a grandma and even your mother in law. Girly, elegant, yet colorful and full of dimension.
