Hi All! Welcome to the Rose Blossom Blog Hop. Today we're featuring Close To My Heart's June Stamp Of The Month: Long Way Home. Check out these fantastic travel images:
If you've just hopped over from the oh-so-talented Shelly Nemitz' blog, Just One Pretty Piece, you're in the right place. I'll have a list of participants at the end of the post. Now, on to the project!
With May behind me, I have a few more hours in the craft room these days, so I decided to create a little home decor piece using pictures from our Spring Break adventures. The Long Way Home stamp set was perfect for this project!
I began by cutting pieces of Urban paper to fit each section of the display. I added some stamping to some of the paper using the stamp of the month and Sapphire, Peacock, and Saffron inks. I then created some embellishments by stamping some of the images in those same colors on Colonial white cardstock and fussy cutting them out.
I added the fussy cut images to the sections using layers of foam tape. I finished everything off by adding some Whisper Thick Twine, Silver Sequins, dark blue sparkles, and buttons from the Urban Assortment. I matted my pictures with Whisper cardstock and added them to their respective patterned paper with foam tape. (I also added little info tags in Whisper cardstock, which are adhered directly to the paper.) I then added each bit of patterned paper to its section using two layers of foam tape for each.
Here is a collage of close-ups:

So I hope you enjoyed this little home decor piece. As soon as my husband saw it, he claimed it for his desk! Don't forget, the Long Way Home stamp set is only available through the month of June. Now, hop on over and see what the über talented Morgan Vogt has for your inspiration at Tweetscraps!
And, as promised, here's a list of participants:
