Hawaii Theme Blog Hop Day 1











Good Morning Everyone,



Welcome to the Hawaii Themed Blog Hop. What a great way to spend the last few weeks of summer with a Tropical theme hop. Lots of wonderful ladies in the hop!!



Tropical Theme Card. I love how this card turned out. My favorite part of the card is the flowers. I used this new stamp set from Stampin' Up! It is called Fabulous Florets. I'm going to also post how I made the flowers. I used the technique called Heat Emboss Resist.


Heat Emboss Resist-


1. Use embossing buddy over cardstock. Stampin' Up' sells this. It is great for embossing.

2. Stamp Image with versamarker


3. Emboss as desired/ usually using clear or white embossing powder


4. Pour off excess powder


5. Heat using heat tool


6. Sponge or Brayer color over image



BLOG CANDY- Please help me reach 700 followers. My goal is to reach 700 followers by the middle of September or before. When I reach 700 followers I will give away a special blog candy. Please leave a comment and become a follower. I will be giving away Disney Stamps. Please check back on Tuesday August 23 to see if you are the lucky winner!!
