Good morning! Well . . . when I went to check on the theme for this month’s Stamp Simply Ribbon Store Blog Hop (as I’m writing this), Spring Flowers. Okay I didn’t quite stick with the theme . . . I painted geraniums . . . . not quite Spring flowers but at least they’re flowers!
I also posted yesterday that the hop is tomorrow . . . WRONG! It’s today! Crazy and hectic . . . what can I say?
There is blog candy today which is posted on Sharon’s blog. Make sure you visit all designers’ blogs and leave comments, because we never know which blog the winner will be pulled from. Sharon picks a number which is the blog and then she picks a second number, which is the comment on that blog. It’s always a surprise! So the more places your comment, the better chances you have. The Designers participating today are:
Sharon Johnson – Stamp Simply Ribbon Store blog

Here’s my project today.
The sentiment and image was embossed in gold on watercolor paper. The image was then water colored with Distress Ink. I used multiple Spellbinders™ Dies to layer the image, raising the top panel with foam mounting tape. I don’t know why I got stuck on this color combination, but after I laid it all out on my desk I really liked it. All the background papers were sewn to a panel of light tan and then the edges of everything were sponged with Old Paper.
