Cloud WPlus9 Blog Hop - Summer Wind Cookies!



Oh I am so happy to tell you I am the lucky guest designer over at Cloud WPlus9 Blog Hop this month.  If you are a fan of WPlus9 stamps you will want to check this out.  On the 9th of every month you are challenged to create a project using your WPlus9 stamps!  Check out this yummy inspiration photo this month.  I feel like it was hand picked just for me!  Can you believe those are actually cookies?  Who could even think of biting into one of these babies?  
I decided to turn one of those cute cookies into a card!  To get the background shading on the flowers I stamped them in a lighter color with the back of the stamp - cleaned it off, turned it around, and then stamped it the right way in a darker ink.  I tried to pick up on the colors in the photo and of course, had to turn it into a circular card.  For my rolled rose, I stamped some flowers from the embroidered bouquet set on the paper before I rolled them up.  This one was lots of fun to make. Wouldn't this be a gorgeous card for mom?
 I hope you find some time to play - get out those WPlus9 stamps and get crackin! You might be the next guest designer or lucky winner of a free set of WPlus9 stamps!  I hope I see you there!

This is one stunning circle card, Jeanne! I'll have to try your tip of stamping with the backs of the flower stamps to add some shading--love the depth it gives them. And your rolled flower is beautiful!
