Operation Write Home Bunny Hop



I made this card for the Operation Write Home Bunny Hop.  I used the flower in the Mayberry Workshop on the Go kit from Close to my Heart.  The flower is stamped once in Hollyhock ink and then again for the next flower in Sky Blue ink.  Each is stamped on Colonial White cardstock which I then circle punched out with my 1 and 1/4" circle punch from Close to my Heart.  Then each flower circle is mounted onto Sunny Yellow cardstock which has been punched using the 2" scallop circle punch.

The scallop circles are then mounted on a beautiful piece of patterned paper from the Mayberry paper collection. The bottom of the card has Hollyhock piece of carstock which I ran through my Sizzix Texture Boutique using a Cuttlebug flower embossing folder.  A Colonial White ribbon completes the look. 

The entire design is mounted on a 4 and 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base.  All products are Close to my Heart.

Now, continue on in the hop going next to Redonna's Blog : http://perpetual-playtime.blogspot.com/2011/02/operation-write-home-bunny-hop-blog-hop.html

Lastly and Most important!  Due Dates for Easter Cards is March 18th, Mom's Day March 31st.

    I like the embossed strip at the bottom.

  35. Shelly MendenhallMarch 7, 2011 at 3:07 PM

    thanks again. The quilt pattern paper is from Close to my Heart's Mayberry level 2 kit.

    The embossed strip is Hollyhock cardstock that was embossed using the Sizzix Texture Boutique machine (the thing that looks like a purse) and a flower Cuttlebug folder.
