Blissful Papercrafting Kit Blog Hop

it is time for another blog hop! Kim has the new "Blissful" papercrafting kit, now available, at Serendipity. you should have come to my post thru Michelle's.

the new kit includes:

• 2 each Papertrey Ink cardstock: Ocean Tides, Rustic Cream, Dark Chocolate, Vintage Cream
• Shimmer Cream
• 12x12 TPC Studio: Bird Flourish: Teal Brocade, Key Stripe, Bird Brocade
• 12x12 My Mind's Eye: French Flea Market, Fulfilled, Simply Plaid
• 2 Vanilla Latte Scented Tags
• 3 small Shipping Tags
• Custom Dew Drop Mix in Maya Road Journey Tin
• 3 yds satin ribbon
• 1 yd May Arts brown leaves
• 3 Bazzill chipboard scrolls

so, this is my first creation with the kit. i loved it so much, as you can see, i made a portion of it my new blog banner. i used the PTI ocean tides cardstock, along with the Bella Bella French Flea Market paper. The brown mat is the opposite side of the TPC Ancestral Teal Brocade, and you can see it has a subtle script. i also did some faux sewing: i pierced the paper and then used a white pencil.

the main images are from a Flourishes stamp set called Waterlilies. and i stamped it on the speckled cream paper using Memento Rich Cocoa ink.
