Thanks a melon Tara

Hello. 

Today we have something a little different for you. 

The design team have all got together to organise a surprise blog hop for Tara and Rick.

We all wanted to say "Ta Tara" for all the work you do  and for the fantastic service you provide.

And to Rick for supporting Tara and the shop.

As I'm a bit useless at all of this i will let the rest of the team and their wonderful cards do the talking.

You will find the full hop list below and we hope you will join us In saying Thankyou.

I started by die cutting my two panels.

The scalloped one i coloured using distress inks to match the colours of the melons and then heat embossed in white the pattern from Sharp backdrops stamp set.

The stitched rectangle panel was cut from water colour card and the melons randomly stamped and heat embossed in white before colouring with water colour pens.

The full hop list in order is .....

F'ant'astic Day

Morning Everyone and welcome again to the weekend :0)

If you have a dislike of ants then you probably wont like today's card I have for you but seeing as they are Lawn Fawn ants I think they are quite cute!!

I really love the row of marching ants in the set called 'Happy Summer' and together with Quinns Alphabet and Claire's alphabet I made a fun card using the sentiment as the focus.
The Quinns alphabet is great for paper piecing and allowed me to add a pop of colour to the card....I think they are rather proud of their spelling don't you :0)
I'm not quite sure if he's adding the F or removing it!!!

The smaller sets of Lawn Fawn stamps are great value and perfect to use on smaller or CAS cards and of course they work perfectly with other Lawn fawn sets too :0)

Thanks for looking today.
