Hey guys!
Are you loving the CHA peeks? I love it when it’s time for the show, because it’s so fun to see all the beautiful new goodies coming out, and all of the beautiful inspiration of the various designer’s projects as they preview new lines. What are you loving so far?
Today I am playing along with this month’s Cloud 9 Blog Hop. This month is a beautiful inspiration photo with a neutral colour palette.
Because I am still working with a limited number of WPlus9 sets (my order is on the way!), I chose to focus on the colours, and take it from there. So I went with Kraft, Cream and Black with a touch of Silver.
I created my own background using one of the blooms from Hope Seed Co. and one of the little detail stamps from Folk Art Flurries. I also used the frame from that set for my focal point, and used one of the flakes as a little interest behind my sentiment, which is also from Hope Seed Co.
I am sure this is a bit of a stretch for the challenge, but I still had fun creating it!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I have a lot of fun with this hop, I am so glad I got to play along again!
