Welcome to the monthly Tour de Freaks, brought to you by the Control Freak Swappers! Wow! It has been FOREVER since I participated with the Control Freaks blog hop! The theme this month is “Spread Love”! You’ve probably just come from Bree Renwick! Doesn’t she do wonderful work? Just click on the link below to take you around the entire blog hop for some GREAT inspiration!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Sweet Sorbet cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 1 x 3-3/4 piece of Country Floral Lane DSP was added to the bottom of a 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Basic White cardstock.
- The branch from Lighting the Way was stamped with Garden Green Ink in the upper right corner.
- The lantern was cut from Soft Suede cardstock with the Lighting the Way Die. Before adhering, the heart from Country Bouquet was stamped with Sweet Sorbet Ink where the lantern globe would be. The lantern was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two bees were stamped with Memento Black Ink in the background and colored with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.
- Be My Valentine from Share a Milkshake was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Sweet Sorbet and punched with the Double Oval Punch. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I think this card shares the love, don’t you? I love how it turned out and my grandson did, too! OK…next up on this short Control Freaks Blog Hop is the fabulous Wendy Weixler! I know you’ll enjoy her projects, too! She does BEAUTIFUL work!
