Enjoy the Hop!

For my project I chose Manuela Stockreiter's suggestion to create a box or a gift bag and use lots of sparkle! I used Jungle Fever for my project.

I stamped several of the gorgeous flowers, fussy cut them and colored with distress inks. I added little strips of green for stems and made myself a bouquet. It was tied with green twine. The leaves were created the same way as on this card. I added the leaves flat and the flowers with dimensional adhesive. They got a pretty coating of stardust stickles so they really shine!! Oh I colored in the stamen with a white gel pen too ;)

Here is a close up of the flowers.

I couldn't make a bag without a matching card! I'm so matchy matchy :)

The background for this was stamped with the lightest distress ink colors of the flowers. (does that make sense?!) I love all the sentiment combinations available in this set! Options, options, options!!

Alright Don't forget to comment as you hop along to have a chance to win a $15.00 gift card to the store!
