Steppin It Up With Swirly Scribbles Blog Hop

We have hit the dog days of summer.  The hottest weeks in Utah are upon us.  Our poor little swamp cooler is getting a workout.  Our bulldogs are not getting workouts.  They can't handle the heat!  Sleep is the best solution



This month I once again went to my swirls and scribbles set.  I cut a square frame from crumb cake and stamped the dots from the set as a background.  I then die cut several of the flowers and leaves that I stamped and arranged them.  I put the sentiment on and that was great. 

To step up the image I added the cut leaves and vines from the floral phrases coordinating die set, to

add a little bit of a wow factor.


Here is the final with the bow of ruched ribbon and a few sequins.  Sometimes More is just More and it would look great either way.


Hop on over to Jeannas blog to check out her creations

I totally agree and I love it and may have to quote you on that in the future. Love how you used the In Colors together.

Nicely done Cheryl. I like both cards, but the addition of the ribbon and sequins really works to step up the second card. Thanks for sharing.
