FTH July 2015 Blog Hop

Welcome to my stop on this month's From the Heart Stamps blog hop.

Our theme this time is "Patriotic" (red, white, & blue).

As you hop along, please leave a comment on each blog.
One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from the FTHS store.
Additionally, one commenter on the From the Heart Stamps blog will be selected to win a $15 gift voucher to the store!

If you have arrived here from Jessica, you are in the right place. If you haven't, why don’t you start at the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything. The full hop list is there too.

Here is my card...



For my card, i've used Mouse Balloon, which is a FREE image at the moment, so go grab it for your collection ;)
The image comes with 3 sentiments; Happy Birthday, Wish Big, and Have a mice day. I chose not to use a sentiment, but I did decide to follow our current sketch from challenge #113, which is running until 26th July due to our summer break, so you have plenty of time to enter.



The starry paper is by Erin Bradley Designs, from a collection called 4th of July.
I used my SU scalloped border punch to make the party banner strips, then brushed them with a Wink of Stella clear glitter pen, also brushing the balloon in the image.

I'd like to enter this card at:
Crafty Creations - red, white, & blue
Little Miss Muffet - red, white, & blue

Now, please head over to Kathy's blog to see her fantastic card for this hop.

I hope that you enjoy hopping with us today.
The hop will end on Monday, July 6th at 6am EST (11am UK time).
Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday, July 8th.
Good luck, and happy hopping! xx
