Hoppity Hop with The {Stamps} of Life and Flower Soft!

The {Stamps} of Life and Flower Soft are having a blog hop!

If you frequent my blog, you see The {Stamps} of Life quite frequently, but Flower Soft is new to me. . .and perhaps new to you as well!! If so, you DEFINITELY need to peruse the website, and go through the whole blog hop for LOTS of inspiration - because this stuff is FUN to use! For my card, I used the Sand colored Flower Soft - absolutely PERFECT for creating. . .SAND! (Of course!)

Happy hopping!!!

i just love your cards...they are so clean and simple...just the way i like to make them...i like the subtle touch of the flower soft to give a little bit of the sand that extra texture. keep up the great card ideas!

Miss Tami said...

Been thinking about the beach - felt like I was there when I saw this card! The choice of colors was great! I also liked the fact that you used the sand Flower Soft sparingly. I think one could get carried away with it and it would overpower the card. Thanks for sharing!

I live in Colorado so using beach scenes on my cards is not something that usually comes to mind, however with family in California..... I dont think sand would be very exciting without this product- I have to have some. Especially because I am a member of Stamps of Life and it is a perfect time to come across this product. I am so grateful for all the great ideas everyone has posted on how to use the flower soft and the stamps I already have.

Colleen said...

Clean and simple card - love it! Now to find some flower soft for myself.
