Gossamer Blue | January Blog Hop



Good morning and welcome to the January Gossamer Blue Blog Hop! I am thrilled to show you one of the cards I created using the January kits. Lori knocked it out of the park this month (no surprise there!) and the kits are perfect for celebrating Valentine's Day, or any day. :)

I have been creating a lot of cards with a white base lately... I like how clean they look, and the white background allows the fun embellishments to really stand out. I layered several elements on top of each other for a clean-and-simple collage.

I layered five elements: the die cut wreath, the gold shimmer heart (LOVE this!), the pink arrow, white crochet thread, and finally the "hello" wood veneer. After I assembled the card I debated adding a few enamel dots, but decided against it. I'm happy with how it turned out (and how uncluttered it looks).

Make sure to check out the rest of the design team to see their creations using the January kits! 

I also have a card posted on the Chickaniddy Crafts blog, if you want to check it out! Here is a little sneak peek of my winter card:
