Lean on Me!

Hello everyone & Happy Sunday Evening to you all! My Washington Redskins will be on the tv soon gearing up for our first game of the season and against our most hated rivals the Cowboys (sorry if you like them but I hope you lose, lol)! I'm a big Redskins fan and have been my whole life so I'm definitely dedicated even if they're losing, lol! I'll keep this post a bit short as I'm in the middle of typing manuals for my CMC On the Road Copic Classes that I will be teaching around the US/Canada starting this coming weekend in Michigan--yikes! Over 70 images I colored yesterday, taking pictures of each step, editing them and now typing up instructions. So my eyes are a little wonky and I apologize if my spelling or wording is off, LOL!

************************************

Tonight is a fun Blog Hop featuring Gina K's set "Lean on Me"! If you buy this set you get the card kit for free with it--how cool is that? Make sure to read to the end of the post to see the list of the rest of the designers who are in the hop tonight!

I decided to use some elegant fall colors this time with the set and used my new Basic Grey "Pyrus" set of papers.  I love the dusky aqua and bright pops of orange--so cheery!  This "Lean on Me" set is so versatile--you can create so many beautiful flower scenes for many occasions and seasons.

I lightly distressed my papers and then I stamped multiple mum-like flowers onto a circle of cardstock using my nestabilities of course.  I created a flat bow using my Scor-tape and added some more bling with my awesome glitter dots (they are addictive to use and come in yummy colors)!  I stamped the "Lean on Me" sentiment directly on some of the paper and attached it on top of my image with think pop dots.


I stamped my flowers out with SU inkpads and then I went in with my Copics (W3 & W1) to gray them up a bit to match the papers.  Then I added stickles to the tops of the darker orange flowers for some pretty sparkle!  I used my Inkssentials Blending Tool to ink the edges of all my papers as well!  Hope you like this one!
