Let's Hop Challenge

Hi all and welcome to the kick off of Flourishes' December release! Today the entire Flourishes Design Team is ushering in a challenge and YOU could walk away winning all of our new sets for December! Here's how to get in on the fun. We're going to HOP and at each designer's blog is another clue for our progressive challenge! You should have just come from Julie's blog; but if I am your first stop on the hop, you'll need to travel back to the Flourishes blog HERE to get your first clue and follow the hop through each of the designers' blogs. By the end of the hop, you'll have 8 "ingredients" that you'll need to use when creating your cards for this Let's Hop Challenge. Follow the "recipe" and you'll be in the running!

So, let's get on to clue number 3:

For this step of the progressive challenge, you'll need to add a bit of ribbon or lace to your project.  Easy, right?

My card actually incorporates steps one through four in the challenge.  I began with Classic White cardstock, which I die-cut with a Spellbinders Grand Decorative Oval die.  I love the lacey effect around the edges!  I stamped the pretty image from Poinsettia and PIne using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, die-cut it with a Spellbinders Grand Ovals die, and colored it with the following Copic Marker Collections:

The pretty ribbon I used on my card is Lavender Seam Binding from the Color Made Easy Collection.  I added a few white pearls, which I colored using my V15 Copic marker.  The center of the flower was made with Ultra Fine Flower Soft.  I dressed up the berries and sentiment with a bit of sparkle from a Sakura Gelly Roll Glitter Pen.

Here's a close-up:

My colors are somewhat unique today; but you'll see why when you hop to the next blog.

If you want to try your hand at winning Flourishes' December Release, you have until Friday, December 14th at 5PM EST to get your entry or entries in!  To enter,  simply link your creation up to THIS POST over on the Flourishes Blog using the Inlinkz Widget. You can also check out that post for more on the official rules! 

Again, if I was your first stop, be sure to go back to the Flourishes Blog for the first clue and the start of the hop! If you've already made it through - hop on over to your next clue, which will be
