Welcome to my blog! The SUStars April Blog Hop starts on Saturday, but I'll be at camp so I'm posting early. If you're here early, come back over the weekend!If you are following our Hop, you should have arrived from FancyNancyKay's blog. If you'd like to start at the beginning, click here. SUStars is a Yahoo!Group just for SU! demos. If you're interested in joining us, click here.
This month our Blog Hop theme is ABC - Anything But a Card. These are some cute tin pails I found at the Dollar Spot at one of my favorite stores. You know the one, I'm sure!
The pails are decorated using our exclusive Island Floral Big Shot die. I used Whisper White, Wild Wasabi, Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight card stocks. The Tempting Turquoise flowers are sponged with Pacific Point classic ink. The Pumpkin Pie flowers are sponged with Tangerine Tango. The Melon Mambo flowers are sponged with Melon Mambo ink. The white and yellow center flowers are sponged with Daffodil Delight.
After sponging them, I curled each petal around my finger for some dimension.
The flowers are held together with a silver brad. The leaves are stuck on with Glue Dots, and each entire flower is stuck on the pail using a hot glue gun.
I tied Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White and Daffodil Delight grosgrain ribbons around the handles for the final touch. I wish we still carried Tempting Turquoise grosgrain!
If anyone is local to me and would like one of these pails, I am selling them for $5 each. I am raising funds for my Relay for Life walk next month. I have four left!
Blog Candy: Would you like some of these flowers to play with? I'll make a packet of flowers and send it to one lucky person who comments on this post!
Your next stop on the hop is Bluegrass Stamper's Studio. You'll love her work!
Happy Hopping!
