Besties Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to Sherri's Besties DT blog hop – we are all excited for this being our second hop and the projects we have to show you are fantastic.


Sherri has been creating her new Besties  for some time now and we are all delighted to see how popular they have become in the crafting world.
The talented ladies in the line up for this hop are all  loving the digis and looking forward to showcasing just a few of them for you today using sewing or adding buttons.  That's the challenge this week over at www.bestieschallenge.blogspot.com


 The digi I used is called Come Rain or Shine



I used glossy accents to give dimension and make the umbrella, rain drops and puddle look wet. 



Supplies:
Cardstock:  Gina K Designs white, lemon drop and jelly bean green
Patterned Paper:  Close To My Heart Dream Pop paper pack, My Mind's Eye, Springtime
Ink:  Colorbox Cornflower, Memento Dandelion (sponged)
Stamp:  Sherri Baldy's Besties Stamp, Come Rain or Shine
Greeting:  My Favorite Things Umbrella Sentiments
Copic Markers
Spellbinders:  Petite Ovals and Scalloped Oval
Dies:  butterflies and vine flourish, Cheery Lynn
Ribbon:  Gina K Designs, white organza
Glossy Accents
Buttons: Mixed Greens, Gina K Designs, White, my stash
Rhinestones: Kaiserkraft
Mother of Pearl Gems: Want2Scrap
Twine in buttons:  The Twinery


 Close up of sewing.  This is the first time I've ever sewn on a card.  If I can do it, anyone can because I don't even know how to sew.  It took me 2 hours to thread bobbin, needle, etc.  LOL!


I probably shouldn't show this but this is how I started.  lol

 

We are offering some amazing blog candy for some lucky commenters who take part in the hop too.
All you have to do in order to qualify for a chance to win the candy is to Comment on each participants blog in the hop and become a follower of Sherri’s blog.
Each DT member will give away the digi that they have used on their project to one commenter PLUS Sherri  is giving away your choice of either 5 digis or 3 decoupage 3d card making kit download.
AMAZING candy don’t you think ?

**On my blog, you can win the digi I'm using on my card but in addition, I'm giving away the May Stamp of the Month from Close To My Heart, which I also sell here, Close To My Heart.  The stamp set is called Pinwheels.  I've had a lot of fun with this set and I know you will too.  Please comment on my blog and I'd love it if you'd become a follower as well.  :)
