Great Flowers and Flower Blocks
 For the 10th and 11th, I did clean and simple/ one layer cards with using glossy accents. For the next two days, I am sticking with the one layer technique but I wanted to play with my Stickles.

Great Flowers...
I did random flower stamps but picked just one to be my focal flower. I messy colored with my TH distress and them picking a couple different Stickle colors to add my bling. Of course I had to keep going, and going, and going, lol.
My second card is Flower Blocks...
I tried the clear block technique (which I found in the tutorial list on MFPS ning site. This is an awesome forum for techniques, tutorials, challenges, and of course stamps)
So for this card, I did this great flower block stamp and inked it up in black. Taking Black Diamond Stickles, I did a very fine line. An of course to stay with the one layer technique, I used different do washi tape.

So what do you think? Have you done any of these techniques before? 
Hope to see you tomorrow for our last hop day!

    Great cards. I really like how you highlighted a single flower with colour on your first card - very effective.

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
