Welcome to our first blog hop for Isabella's Sketchbook. Isabella gave this lucious lemon digital image to the design team to use for this blog hop. Isn't it fabulous? I can't wait to see how the rest of the team used it in their creations this week.
This week our challenge to YOU is to do a card with an Isabella image with the theme "Anything Goes". You can do whatever you like! This is a circular blog hop. That means you can start anywhere and continue until you come back to your starting point. Isabella will be giving away one image each to NINE winners. To be in the random drawing for the images, you must leave a comment on the DTs' blogs. The more comments you leave, the more chances you have in the drawing.
Have fun and enjoy the hop! Your next hop is over to Oh So Cute, by Lisa. Be sure to keep hopping and leaving comments along the way (the more comments, the more chance of winning) until you've come back to where you started. After leaving a comment here, hop on over to Lisa's blog to see her fabulous creation. The hop will be open until Friday, July 2nd at 8:00 p.m.
Card Details: Image by Isabella's Sketchbook (hasn't been released for sale at this time - check back soon!), digital designer paper by Pink Petticoat and Designer Digitals (changed the color to B&W in PSE), the yellow polka dot background on the image was digitally paper pieced using Pretty Petticoat digital papers, coloring done with Copics, a little Crystal Effects on the handle to make it look like glass, ribbon from Jo-Ann's, jewelry spacers with a tiny silver "pearl" on top and saving the best til last, the punch work was done with a Martha Stewart punch following the tutorial from the amazing Becka Feeken. She has a series of tutorials on her blog to show how to do this. Be sure to check it out!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you will play along with us this week on our blog hop and good luck in the drawing!
