CardMaker Blog Hop

I am so excited to be a part of this hop with CardMaker Blog and JessicaLynnOriginal.com!  Be sure to check out each designer and see what amazing work they did.  

While you're there, leave a comment on each blog to be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift card to JessicaLynnOriginal.com!  The card is good for anything in the store.

There also is a FREE digital stamp for this hop, visit JessicaLynnOriginal.com to download it.

I made three cards for this hop using three different techniques.  



This card used the splatter technique.  I took some inexpensive paint pots, dipped a toothbrush in the black and then splattered it on the paper.  I also tried to really go for a monochromatic look for this card.  The image and sentiment are both from the AKC Dog:  Old English Sheep Dog clear stamps from JessicaLynnOriginal.com

Next up was a shaker card...



I've seen so many shaker cards and they all look fun, so I wanted to finally try making my own.  I tried to keep this card clean and simple, with a little bit of sparkle!  The stamp is from the Brentwood Owl collection at JessicaLynnOriginal.com.

Last is Happy Halloween!



This stamp image features the art of Jasmine Becket-Griffith, more of which can be found here.  I used the "mind the gap" technique and used a lot of designer mat stack paper to enhance the look of this card.  The pumpkins have glitter pen on their lantern parts and the bones of her wings have crackle accent applied to them.

Everything was colored with Copic markers.

Don't forget to comment on each blog to be eligible to win the $50 gift card to JessicaLynnOriginal.com!  The complete blog list is below!
