Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team Blog Hop

Good morning!  Hope your Tuesday is off to a great start!  This is the first time I've had a chance to pop in since before Christmas!  It's the last Tuesday of the month and that means it's time for the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team blog hop!  Each month, a group of former DT members gets together and create projects with some of our favorite Heartfelt Creations products.  If you arrived here from Selma's blog, you are on the right track.  If not, you will want to start at the beginning on Olga's blog so you don't miss any of the team's wonderful creations!

Here is my card for the hop:


I used the square version of the Mojo Monday #221 sketch, flipped to vertical, for my layout.  
Here is the sketches:

I started with a card base of GKD Choclate Brown and layered with patterned paper from the Basic Grey Curio 6x6 pad.  I stamped the image from Heartfelt Creations HCPC 572 Clematis/Cottage PreCut Set with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White and colored it with Copic markers.  I did some sponging around the image with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and SU Soft Sky.  I added some lace trim and a double-loop bow of peach satin ribbon.  A brown glass button finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Your next stop is Kristina's blog, where she has something gorgeous to share with you!  Be sure to leave a comment on every blog while you're hopping because one randomly chosen commenter will win a $25 gift certificate to shop at Heartfelt Creations!  You have until Friday, December 30 at midnight EST to leave your comments.  The winner will be announced Saturday, December 31st at noon.

In case you get lost along the way, here is the complete hop list:

See you soon!
