Welcome to the Let's Get Hopping blog hop, its round 36 and my first time joining. You have probably come to me from Tracy's blog - if not, please pop back over there to say hi also.
This months theme was 'One for the boys'. I knew I wanted to use the "High Tide" Stamp set for this one and create a sunburst theme. Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron make a fun and striking colour combination for this.
I've popped the circular sentiment onto dimensional dots to lift it up from the page. The 'ribbons' underneath were inked slightly so they had more depth.
This probably isn't my typical type of card but as a mum of two teenagers, I think this would be the kind of card they couldn't mind getting.
Thanks for visiting my little part of the blog hop, please leave a comment, I would love to hear from you. I know 'boys' cards aren't always easy to create, I hope this has inspired you to go bold with your colour and design choice. Click on the arrow to go to Nina's blog next.
Happy Stamping, Rachael xx
