For my hop project I chose to create a clean & simple card set using ornament images and sentiments from Bright Spirits. This was the idea that was in my head when I was designing the set. Since the holidays are such a busy time, I wanted simple images and elegant sentiments that could capture attention without a whole lot of extra bells and whistles.
Each card is an image and sentiment stamped on a 4" piece of cardstock, which I scored at 1/4" all around and distressed the edges.
The images are colored with Copic markers and Spica glitter pens, then I embellished both the image and some of the swooshes on the sentiments with rhinestones from Pizzazz Aplenty.
A big red polka dot bow finishes things off, and each card is glued to a 4.25" white card base. Easy peasy and perfect for the holidays.
That's a whole lot of pictures, so I won't jabber away the day. Here's today's hop list... happy hopping!
