New England Ivy - Everything ABC Blog Hop



Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop. The letter for this Hop is N.  You can use any element that starts with the letter N.  My element is Close to my Heart's New England Ivy card stock and ink.  If you have just came from Darlys at CraftyHappy you are on the right track.  If you should get lost along the way visit Linda at ScrappyTherapy  for a complete list of participants in this Hop.

I have a Granddaughter's birthday coming up and have wanted to try this "bokeh" technique for awhile and decided to give it a try. I love green, it's one of my favorite colors on this card I used New England Ivy, Sweet Leaf, Olive inks and Daisy white craft ink for the technique.  I used New England Ivy card stock for my card base, a Daisy white layer and some glossy (photo) paper for the technique.
The stamp sets I used are Curlicue Frames from the Artfully sent collection and Love This for the butterfly. Used Artfully sent cartridge to cut the labels. I colored the butterfly with the ShinHanart markers in Sap Green and Pastel Green.  A little ribbon from my stash and all done.

To find the products I used for this card please check out My Web Site

Next in the hop is Linda at ScrappyTherapy    I hope have visited all the creative Crafters in the Hop and comment on their art work.  We all love comments and feed back on the things we make.

Until next time Stay Curious and Keep Crafting!

  2. Great card. I love the bokeh technique - really nice work putting it together. I've never tried it with glossy paper, I've just used cardstock. So I have just added to my "to do list" to try the glossy, looks great

    1. Thanks Darlys..truth is I didn't have any white card stock close by, but had this glossy piece. ...it was easier to work with the inks.
