Good morning! Well, it’s true… I only clean up my stamp desk once every couple weeks so the June Key Ingredients kit contents are still spread out on my desktop! I’m so drawn to the summery colors in this paper and decided that this time I wanted to pair it with the Sweet Occasions stamp set. I started by stamping the image onto different piece of patterned paper and piecing the inside of the image as well as the frame. I colored the ‘thanks’ and the cupcake with with Copics and added Glossy Accents over the top of the letters and the cherry. I cut out the image and mounted it on a Spellbinders Big Scalloped Rectangle. With so many cute patterns in the October Afternoon Fly a Kite collection it’s hard to choose just one! So I decided to use different patterns on each of the three strips at the bottom of the card. Then I finished it off with a little satin ribbon.

A BIG thank you to everyone who participated in the Blast from the Past Blog Hop yesterday! I had so much fun checking out all of your cards and I hope you had fun on joining in the hop too!
