Here is my card for this month's hop:
I started with a card base of SU Chocolate Chip and layered with patterned paper from the Kaisercraft The Lake House 8x8 pad. I really love the colors and patterns in these beautiful papers! I went back to one of my favorite older Heartfelt Creations sets, HCPC 572 Clematis/Cottage PreCut Set. I think this set is retired now, but you can check out all the gorgeous new collections at the Heartfelt Creations site here. I stamped the image on Cryogen White and colored it with my Copics. I added a bit of Diamond Stickles to the flower centers for a little shimmer. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations Mini Messages Cursive, which may also be retired now. Sorry about that. A May Arts silk bow and a few adhesive pearls from my stash finished my card.
