It's a Love Thing Art Freckles Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Art Freckles Blog Hop! You should have arrived at my blog from Linda's blog, if not, please start the hop at the Art Freckles blog! The hop officially begins at 10:00 a.m.. Hint **there may just be a giveaway!**

Today's hop is themed "It's a Love Thing"!

My project for today's hop is a card which uses a lot of items from my Art Freckles stash! The gorgeous Pink Paislee dp and pearls are from the Art Freckles January/11 First Kiss Kit, the cs is a kraft from my Nov/10 Orchid Treasures kit, the stamps are Pink Paislee and from my Vintage Heart Kit, the kraft butterfly is from the Dec/10 card kit, corrugated cardboard from a AF pizza box, lace ribbon from the Nov/10 Card kit, little bird from an AF Ephemera kit and the flowers are from the March/10 Homesense kit. Extra products used: machine stitching, SU cs, u/k buttons, db brads, hemp twine, Memento and Distress inks, white craft paint, Copic markers and airbrush system and Crinkle ribbon. 

Inspiration for my card came from this week's sketch #141 at Friday Sketchers and this week's challenge #68 at the Play Date Cafe!

Products used: Bazzill and SU cs, Webster's Pages dp, Prisma glitter, machine stitching, Distress inks, u/k bling and FabricLand lace and ribbon.
