It’s that time again!  What time?  Time for another Tour de Freaks Blog Hop!

With Sale-a-bration in full swing, the Freaks decided to celebration Sale-a-bration!  Are you ever in for a treat!  The freaks REALLY know how to Sale-a-brate!  If you are going forward through the hop you arrived here from Mindy Backes’ blog and her EXCELLENT projects!

I had REALLY wanted to use the Hello set but since that is now retired and I don’t have any of the ‘new’ items I decided to go with the Botanicals for You set.  This is a fun set and I decided to keep the look simple but use a lot of cutting things out (my VERY FAVORITE thing to do) to give it that little extra!

This is such a FUN color challenge – Pear Pizzazz, Blackberry Bliss and Bermuda Bay.  I added in the Smoky slate and this was easy as can be!

Here’s the details –

• Pear Pizzazz – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
• Pear Pizzazz – 1 1/2 x 5 1/2, run through Butterfly Embossing folder, add to card front
• Bermuda Bay – 1/2 x 5 1/2, add to card front
• Whisper White – 3 x 5 1/2, stamp greeting using Smoky Slate
• Blackberry Bliss dotted (Farmers Market dsp) – 5/8 x 5 1/2, add behind Whisper White Panel and add to card front using dimensionals
• Stamp large flower/Bermuda Bay, medium flower/ Blackberry Bliss, leaves/Pear Pizzazz, cut everything out, layer ’em up and add to card front.
• Add Basic Rhinestones to center of each flower to finish

Set(s):	Botanicals for You
Paper:	Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Bermuda Bay, Farmers Market dap
Ink:	Smoky Slate, Pear Pizzazz, Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss
Other:	Butterfly Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones  Dimensionals

Okay…so I made a little bag to go with my card…

Here’s the details –

• Pear Pizzazz – 7 1/2 x 11, use Gift Bag Punch Board to score and make bag, put together
• Whisper White – 2 1/2 x 5 1/2, cut out bottom using Banner Framelit, stamp greeting using Smoky Slate
• Stamp flowers/leaves as describe above, cut out and add to tag
• Blackberry Dotted – 1 1/2 x 2, cut out with smaller Banner Framelit, add behind Whisper White banner, add to front of bag
• Punch holes in top and tie using Bermuda Bay Thick Twine.
• I didn’t on this but you could add Basic Rhinestones to match card
