Michael Strong Yahoo group 6th Anniversary blog hop
The Hop starts at Michael's Blog HERE
I first heard about the Michael Strong Yahoo Group from the group creator- Hetty Sanders. Hetty is also a Technique Junkie- and a very talented designer.
My first card was created in 2011 using a Michael Strong Stamp:
The Yahoo Group is really fun- we have a 'Card Captain' each week- sharing cards using Michael Strong Stamps and each Thursday we have a tutorial. Recently, we learned about Bister- and I had to give it a go......
I used the Bister through a stencil. The butterfly is cut out of another page of the Bister, and I added glimmer using a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen. The butterfly was fussy cut and just the center portion of it is glued down. The sentiment is by Create with TLC.
There is a giveaway- you can win a stamp from Michael Strong Stamps- just leave a comment at all of the blogs in the Hop. Your next stop on the hop is Heidi.
If you get lost along the way, Hetty has a full list for the hop on her blog HERE.
