Hello and welcome to my blog. I am thrilled to be taking part in Kylie's International Highlights Blog Hop today. A huge THANK YOU goes to everyone who voted for my card in the gallery earlier this month - your votes have enabled me to take part in today's hop!
If you missed it, you can see the project that I shared in the gallery HERE.
The theme for this hop is Encouragement and I have chosen to use the High Tide stamp set, which is probably feeling neglected because I haven't used it for quite a while. Looking at the sentiments in this set reminded me of my old school moto, which was 'Let Your Light Shine!' In our house we are entering the dreaded exam season. The fridge is covered with a colour coded exam timetable - the first ones are next week and they go on until mid-June, so it seemed appropriate to use this set today.
The lighthouse is bold and striking in Night of Navy and Real Red. I used my Stamparatus to stamp the two step image, the gravel and the sentiment. While the Stamparatus was all set up I stamped a few more to use on future cards.
I used the Stitched Rectangle dies to crop out the image, a Night of Navy frame and a large background piece from some Happiness Blooms patterened paper. I love the stitched edge finish to the layers. To complete the look I've tied a reef knot in some Bakers Twine (which will be available in the new catalogue) and wrapped it around the frame. Dimensionals lift the layer proud of the patterened paper, which sits on the Real Red card base.
Thank you so much for joining me today - don't forget to encourage yourself and to let your light shine! You are currently at my blog, Karen Henderson - have a look below at the list of the other winners to see who else to visit. Enjoy hopping round each of the blogs to find more inspiration.

ReplyDeleteThanks Shelly!
DeleteIt's quite striking isn't it - and they aren't my usual go to colours at all. I must use this combo again!
