April SOTM Blog Hop-Love So Sweet

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!  We will be featuring the April SOTM, which is called Love So Sweet, a set of 26 stamps.  If you have come here from Barbara Page Kell, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  

If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog.

This month we have 18 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

I made two cards and participated in two different challenges. The first challenge was with the Case This Sketch and was due March 28. Here is the sketch. 

And here is my card using our Color of the Year- Sugar Plum for the flower and one layer of the background paper. I used the Sugar Plum glitter pen to add some glitter and shading to this flower also. The gold shimmer brush decorated the center of the flower. I stamped the leave with the Fern stamp pad and fussy cut those and the flower out. The left triangle is a couple of the designs in the Stitched Quilt Shapes which is not available until the end of April. I also used Pebble and Pewter. 

This second card was made for a challenge with the design from the Fusion Challenge. Click on the picture below and play along with us. Post your artwork on my Facebook group Making Pretty Things With Paper to share.

And the color scheme came from the Color Dare Challenge #335- Monochromatic Pinks. Click on the picture to go to the blog and play along with us. Post your artwork on my Facebook group Making Pretty Things With Paper to share.

I used Rasberry, Pixie and Ballerina. The stripe background paper is from the Something Fierce paper pack. I used the stamp pad colors and my clear glitter brush to paint the butterfly and used the gold glitter brush to add bits of gold to the flower center and edges of the butterfly wings. 

When you purchase the stamp of the month on my website, you will get these two cards as kits included in some happy mail as a thank you for shopping with me.
