ESAD Blog Hop


 

Welcome to my blog today!  I am participating in my first blog hop with ESAD and I’m very excited!  We’re showcasing the NEW products in the Annual Catalogue from Stampin‘ Up!  I’m a huge fan of coffee and chocolate, so the “Nothing’s Better Than” stamp set was always going to be top of my wish list from the Annual Catalogue!!  

(Turns out I’m a cocktail fan too 😉)

I chose a colour combination from the Stampin’ Up’s ‘colour coach’ (an excellent demonstrator tool), because it reminded me of the layered soft drinks that I had on special occasions as a child! 

 


I realised that I also wanted to stamp the cocktail image and colour it with the stamps (two-step stamping) – especially as the Bumblebee ink made a fantastic lemon wedge! So, my leftover die cut (because I couldn’t decide which colours I wanted on the card) and the coloured cocktail image became the tag.


Next up in the amazing ESAD hop is Sharni Haines



So there you have it, my first ESAD hop, my first (intentionally) coordinating projects and possibly my first projects (unintentionally) without bling!! If these projects have inspired you here are the supplies I used:
