Welcome to the final Artisan Dec Design Blog Hop from the 2020 Team. My time as Stampin’ Up! Artisan is up and WOW! What a fabulous time it has been, not only over this last year, but over the last 3 years.
I am truly grateful for all the friendships I have gained from this amazing group of super talented people.
I am also VERY thankful to you! For all your support, and wonderfully kind comments over all of the blog hops and on all of the social platforms. It is so very appreciated. I just LOVE sharing and inspiring others – It makes me smile a lot! Thank You! I will be randomly selecting 3 people who have commented on this post (on Sunday 20th by 1800GMT) to receive 1 of these cards – I will be happy to send them anywhere in the world and this is one to everyone!
So, on with the final showcase as a part of the Artisan Team, I am sharing with you a little bit of LOVE. this trio of cards is using the Posted for You Bundle.

The colour combo I have used is…
For this first card I have added a blend of Pool Party on the background and randomly stamped the postage mark image. The cute birds and leaves are also from one of the images within the Posted for You Stamp Set. I have stamped and snipped this part to be able to place this at opposite ends of the sentiment panel.

For the second card I have punched out the postage stamp in basic gray (x3) and added the to the panel with dimensionals to be able to add the swoosh of white ribbon behind.

For the final card I have stamped the same image three times down the centre panel. I have then stamped them again three times on a scrap piece of Whisper White and coloured with the coordinating Blends (Flirty Flamingo & Granny Apple Green)
Once coloured I have cut these out and popped them up on to the matching section of the image using mini-dimensionals

I am now sending you on over to the amazingly talented and lovely Helene. Be sure to hop on around the whole of the hop as the Artisan Team are sharing are SO many gorgeous projects using the Posted for You bundle.
Welcome to the new Artisan team!
I would also like to take the opportunity to WELCOME the incoming Artisan Design Team for 2021. I am so happy for everyone and know they will have an amazing year together!
