Heavenly Hollyhocks for Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop


Hello Stampers! 

Welcome to Kylie and Bruno Berttuci's February Blog Hop for their Demonstrator Training Program. 

As always, our theme is Thank You!  We always need thank you cards! 

For my card today I pulled out a bundle I have had for a while that I had not used yet.  It is a GORGEOUS bundle called Heavenly Hollyhocks.  It is found on page 118 of the Annual Catalog.  

Here is an image of that bundle: 


And here is my card:  



I pulled out the Rose Gold foil found on page 139 of the Annual Catalog.  This is another item I had not used yet.  It has six sheets and comes in three finishes: iridescent, matte, and metallic.  I chose to use both metallic and matte for my card.  Here is an image of the Rose Gold Foil: 


For my card I used the matte on the inside of the flower and the metallic as a mat layer.  The Deckled Rectangle dies gave this card a bit of pizzazz.  

After my first card I was totally hooked on this bundle and could not stop so I made a few more cards with it: 


This one is the reverse of the first card with matte foil as mat layer and metallic for flower overlay. 

And when I had completed these two cards I was left with this: 


Well, there was no way I was throwing that out.....so I grabbed a punch and punched out a bunch of tiny circles.   Then I created this card: 


How fun is this one....and did a schmancy cutting technique with the Deckled Rectangles dies to create a Deckled Square!

And finally I created this one: 



And here are some more samples to inspire your creativity: 




Now hop along and see what my creative friends have to share with you today:
