Find Your Style (January SOTM) Blog Hop!

Welcome to our January Stamp of the Month blog hop featuring this month's new SOTM - Find Your Style D1452! If you've just joined me from Jody's blog then you are on the right path!
All of my artwork with this stamp set uses the all-new Wings paper packet X7135B (colors are Black, Colonial White, Juniper, Sweet Leaf, and Vineyard Berry). First up (above), is a 5x7 card inspired by Wishes - Simplicity (p. 106). The bird was stamped with Juniper ink on Colonial White cardstock, cut out with micro-tipped scissors, and then sponge distressed around the edges with a sponge dauber and more Juniper ink to darken the edges. The pleated ribbon is from our new Wings Level 2 Assortment Z1398 ($4.95). The ribbon comes in shades of Black, Vineyard Berry, and Juniper and it is sooo... easy to use. I simply cut the already gathered ribbon and adhered it on my card with a few glue dots! Remember, you can click on any of my photos to see them even larger up-close if you want to! Finally, I have a 6x6 card inspired by Wishes - Celebration Card Workshop Card #2 (p. 22). The shoe was created with Black heat embossing on Vineyard Berry Cardstock. I love how the heated black embossing powder gets so shiney and makes the shoe look like it has a true shine also! I used a ribbon slide from our soon-to-be-retiring (but still available while supplies last) White Daisy Mini Medley Accents Collection Z1136 ($5.95) and topped it off with a square clear Sparkle (self-adhesive gem) to create the buckle for my shoe

that is adhered with a glue dot!

I hope you have enjoyed and are inspired by my creations! If you'd like to see a whole lot more artwork created with this stamp set by the very talented members of my consultant SOTM swap group,
