Inky's Clearly Fun Blog Hop

Welcome to Inky’s “Clearly Fun” Blog Hop! You’ve come from Trudy’s blog. I used Inky's Clear Cardstock along with Bumper 4005C drawn by artist vicki Schreiner which you can find on this page: http://www.inkyantics.com/april2012hop.htm.

I created a 2-4-6-8 Box and then embossed with my dotted swiss embossing folder. I then stamped "Bumper" on clear cardstock in white. I punched it out and then ran Tombow's Vellum adhesive on a punched brown piece the same size. I adhered the stamped side to the brown paper. This way the ink wouldn't smear. I adhered the box together using Power Bond Adhesive.

I then layered onto another circle then scallop circle to make a flower. Lastly, I adhered the flower to the bag, filled with raspberry kisses and used a binder clip to hold the bag closed.

The blog hop starts today and ends on Sunday, April 22nd at midnight Central time. Please visit each DT members’ blog to view their projects and leave a comment for each designer.

  2. That dry embossing really adds "zing," and I think the binder clip closure is genius, Debbie. Cute frame for the butterfly, too. Thanks so much for your terrific project!
