July Greek Isles Blog Hop!

Thank you for joining us for our July Greek Isles Achievers blog hop. Those hopping today are Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that have achieved the prestigious Stampin' Up! Incentive trip. We will be hopping together once a month to show you ideas and designs using current Stampin' Up!® products. I live in Minnesota in the US and would love to help you if you have any questions.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity or may have come from the person previous to me in the list.  If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the fun. At the moment you are visiting Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity.  Our hop theme in July is the Stampin' Up! New Annual Catalog!

Today I used the stamp set called Inspiring Iris.  This was one of my must have stamp sets from the new annual catalog from Stampin' Up!  I love how it is a two step stamp and makes it easy to get the colorful flowers with the green stems.

I paired the beautiful flowers with the Layering Circles dies and added a bit more color with my stampin' blends markers.  I wanted more of a rustic background, so I used the brick and mortar embossing folder and sponged it with some crumb cake ink.  Then I added the die cut cattails from the Friendly Silhouettes dies.  The Purple Tricolor ribbon and a few Noble Rhinestones were the perfect finish for this card.

Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss.  Remember that currently you are at my blog - Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity, so check the blog hop line up list to see who is next.
