Seasonal Expressions 1 Blog Hop

Did you spend some of your New Year's holiday checking out the new Close To My Heart Seasonal Expressions idea book?  One of the perks of being a consultant is a preview period, so you'll get lots of great ideas with new products along this blog hop.  (If you're already hopping, then you've arrived from Terrie's blog.  You'll click on her name to go to Jennifer's blog next.)

When I first saw the Seasonal Expressions idea book, I fell in love with the Hello Lovely paper suite!  I automatically ordered the Workshop Your Way because you get the paper pack, complements, and two different embellishments all at a great price.  The Hello Lovely WYW includes gold glitter gems and beautiful Blush ribbon.  I also had to get the new Good Thymes! stamp set in honor of my new essential oil business.  (Feel free to contact me if you'd like to know more.)  My cards use Fern and Sorbet ink, and I grabbed my trusty holiday five-card workshop (using sketches from Make It From Your Heart, Vol. 2) and got to work.  To color my herbs, I just grabbed my medium round waterbrush and my Fern ink.

If you'd like to skip the close-ups of the five cards, feel free to leave a comment and then hop on to Jennifer's blog next.  Otherwise, here are the details...

These cards have the addition of coral shimmer trim.

 These cards both use the masking technique.

Thanks for visiting!  You're going to love all the great ideas you'll find with the new Seasonal Expressions blog hop.  Please leave a comment before hopping on to Jennifer's blog!
