Echo Park + Imagine Crafts Blog Hop!

Hello friends! Echo Park Paper and Imagine Crafts have teamed up for a fun blog hop! The blog hop begins today, October 7th, and will end at Midnight EDT on October 9th. Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win this awesome prize!!


The WINNER of the Blog Hop will be announced on the Echo Park Paper Blog, Monday October 10th.

I am so excited to participate in this fun blog hop! Recently, I had a chance to work with some beautiful ink shades from Imagine Crafts. I ordered some new colors for myself, and really liked how vibrant they were and how clear the images were each time I stamped!
 

Using these stamps in Lime, Marigold and Rose Red colors with matching papers from a few different lines by Echo Park Paper, I created some monochromatic Thank You cards.




My favorite time saving technique is to repeat a design for multiple cards:)

To make these cards, I used a bunch of different Desiner Dies by Echo Park, including some of my favorites this year - Autumn Leaves Die Set and Autumn Thanks Die. It doesn't mean you should only use these for fall cards, right? Bright and happy is what I chose today!


I used Imagine Crafts inks to color my leaves, that were die cut from white cardstock. Previously, I would ink the edges before adding details to the leaves with an Exacto knife, but what I discovered is that switching these two steps around actually makes the leaf look even more detailed. This way, all of the impressed lines stay white, giving the leaf a more realistic look!


Also, I can neve finish a card without some dimension on it:) Here, I raised the top white layer with cut out circles, for a more fun look.

For the Pink card I used Rose Red Ink and Echo Park papers from Petticoats Collection.


For the Green card, I used Lime Ink and Echo Park papers from Easter, Spring and Magical Adventure collections.


And for the Yellow one, I used Marigold Ink and papers from Let's be Mermaids and Amour collections.

To increase your chance at winning the prize package, please visit all the blogs participating in the blog hop and leave your comments! Blog Hop begins at the Echo Park Paper blog:

Thanks for stopping by! Good luck and have a great day!

  10. These cards are so awesome! It's so creative to take basically the same elements, change colors and positions and make different cards but they are a cohesive group.
