Slimline Celebration Blog Hop

Close To My Heart has an amazing Slimline Celebration for National Stamping Month!  With four stamp sets, five Thin Cuts, and two exclusive bundles, the possibilities are endless.  Hop from blog to blog to get some amazing ideas with these exclusive products.  (If you're already hopping, then you've probably arrived from Scrappin Katy's blog.  From here you'll visit Kathy's blog next.)  I have used the Slimline Sentiments on my projects.

My first card has a fun background made by wiping distress oxide inks in Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Candied Apple, Abandoned Coral, Peeled Paint, and Vintage Photo on my all-purpose mat then spritzing with water.  This panel is actually the second one that I made from the same "puddle" of ink on my mat.  After it dried, I splattered Toffee, Gold, and Desert Rose shimmer brushes on the panel.  For the sentiment, after stamping it in Espresso, I used a small stamp from the Perfectly Imperfect Patterns stamp set to create the "watercolor wash" behind Thank You (Shortbread) and Hug (Papaya).  A little rose gold shimmer trim and an Autumn sequin finished this.

My second card uses the same stamp set but on a standard-size A2 card.  I inked the stamp in Papaya and Sapphire to coordinate with the Pumpkin Spice background.  I used my Desert Rose shimmer brush to color in the heart.

This final card has already been featured on my blog (details HERE), but I wanted to share it on this hop also.  The background is made entirely from shimmer brushes, and boy does it sparkle prettily in real life!

Thanks for letting me share some Slimline Sentiments cards with you.  Please leave a comment before you hop on over to Kathy's blog to continue the Slimline Celebration blog hop.
