Onto the hop...
You should be coming from the talented Arielle's blog.

Remember that inspiration photo?  And, if you visited the 3 Girl Jam Challenge blog or my blog yesterday, remember the stamp set I'm working with?  It's The Alley Way Stamp's Phraseology background stamp that looks like this:

Well, I was inspired to make this card, using the photo and the stamp set:

 

 

 

The card was made using My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up 12x12 paper for the background to mimic the wood effect in the photo, a Bodacious Blooms die to stack up the flower like the stacked up pillows using the Hot Off the Press Rosemary & Thyme 6x6 paper pad, a Spellbinders die was used to cut out the tag, focusing on the word, "Dream" from the Phraseology TAWS set, and Tuxedo 3 Girl Jam ribbon was finger pleated across the bottom edge of the card, then tied in a double bow.  Some baker's twine holds the tag in place, and a white crocheted flower from Close To My Heart holds the flower together.

 

And, a close up of the tag and beautiful 3 Girl Jam bow before you go...

 

 





Now, happy hoppin' to the talented Jovan to see her fabulous style.

Thanks for hopping with TAWS and 3GJ.
We look forward to seeing all your projects!
