Blog hop at Michelle Perkett Studio!!

Hi, its time for our blog hop at Michelle Perkett Studio :-) If you've arrived from Mari's blog then you're on the right track, if not hop over to Michelle's blog where the fun starts!

The blog hop is to say a big thank you to our lovely DT ladies, especially those who are leaving we're so sad to see them go but wish them all the very best for the future. Jan, Marilyn, Margie, Melissa and Tammy are leaving the DT after our 6 month term and its been a real pleasure to work with you ladies :-)
I'd also like to thank my lovely teamies who are staying on and of course a huge thank you to Michelle too. Michelle is a very talented artist and a wonderful warm person and its a real pleasure to be a part of this amazing team.


I wanted to make a special card for our blog hop and decided to make a tealight card as I saw lots on people's blogs a few months ago and never got round to making one. Anyway as I made the little box bit for the tealights I thought it would be a great stopper for an easel card to I've made a tealight easel card, hope you like it :-)

We've all used Michelle's beautiful image 'Mary, Mary' for our blog hop projects, you can find her in Michelle's Etsy Store or at Bunny Zoe's Crafts. Mary is such cutie and i love the sentiment that comes with her. Mary is coloured with promarkers and i've used pale green and pink pearl card to make the tea light easel and mat and layer the image. The green card is stamped with an Elusive Images stitched flowers and embossed with white EP. The little tea light box was made using the same stamped card, it has an aperture cut out with a Spellbinders tag die and lined with some recycled clear plastic packaging. The lace, ribbon and flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts. Sorry the pic is a bit dull, we've had nothing but grey days here now for ages and its hard to get a decent pic but hopefully Mary will be a reminder that Spring isn't far away


Here's a little reminder of the blog hop order so you don't get lost lol. Your next stop on the blog hop is Marilyns wonderful blog
