This is my first ever blog hop that I have taken part in, it's a little bit scary especially as I will be at work when this goes live.
If you have been following the hop, then you will have just arrived from the lovely Tamsin Adams blog, but if this is your first encounter with the blog hop, then just follow the link at the bottom of this post and work your way around the other 22 fabulous blogs!

I am loving the 'Moon Lake' Stamp Set.
It's a set of 6 stamps' 3 images and 3 sentiments.
 It's a great set to use for men's cards, but equally as nice in feminine colours.
  I have used Mossy Meadow and Sahara Sand colour combo.
The background is embossed Woodgrain Embossing Folder.
I have used faux suede technique for the strips of Sahara Sand and add to Candy Dots to complete them.
 I love the shading on the stamp, so all I have done is used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour the image.
I accidentally splashed water over my image (don't ask me how) but I did and I like the effect it gives
I used the Deco Labels and Circle Collection Framelits.
  This is the inide of the card, I like to add something from the front to the inner.
Here's another card very similar, I embossed this with Decorative Dots Embossing Folder.
I raised the Mossy Meadow embossed piece with Stampin' Dimensials.
To finish the card I stamped hello you from the Crazy About You Stamp Set, then punch Modern Label and coloured to pearls with Old Olive Blendabilities Marker.
The inner is the same as the card above.
Well that is enough from me, it time you hop on over to see Pauline Bennetts wonderful creations.
