BRI #Hashtag Stamps Blog Hop

Hello, hello!    I'm joining the fun over at Butterfly Reflections, Ink., today as a stop on the #Hashtag Stamps Blog Hop!     You should have arrived via Coralynn's fabulous blog.  

Vanessa from BRI has collaborated with Bossy Joscie on two fun new stamp sets featuring large words with supporting hashtag sentiments - these are so much fun to use!   Let me show you the fun card I created with the larger 4x6 #Hashtag stamp set....

So I recently ordered some of the Nuvo Glimmer Paste from BRI - and this stuff is AH-MAZING!!!!!   I can't say enough about how awesome this stuff looks - especially on black cardstock!   Wowza!  I used a stencil from Echo Park and the Sapphire Blue glimmer paste to create my background panel.   And since it was so awesome, I didn't want to add a ton to it - I stamped and heat embossed the "Whatever - #itiswhatitis" sentiments onto a strip of Lush Lagoon cardstock from MFT (a perfect match for the Sapphire glimmer paste).   I bordered the sentiment strip with some black cardstock strips and foam mounted the strip across my glittery panel.   

And there you have it!   A simple, and rather elegant reminder to just relax and deal with whatever is coming at ya....it is what it is, right?   

Your next stop on the hop is my sweet & talented friend, Samantha Mann.   Be sure to hop along and leave comments at all the stops for your chance to win one of two prizes - a 4x6 #Hashtag Stamp Set or a 3x4 #Hashtag Bossy Stamp Set.   Leave your comments by Monday, December 26 at noon.   Winners will be announced on the Butterfly Reflections, Ink. blog on Tuesday, December 27th!
