Hello lovely Crafty friends,

Hello Crafty Friends, Today's hop is for the Hop Hello Crafty Friends,

Today's hop is for the Hop Abroad August 2026 Insta Hop, and this month's theme is "Least Used Colours."
I chose Flirty Flamingo because it's one of those colours I rarely reach for but I had so much fun creating with it! I paired it with the beautiful July Product of the Month - Begonia Belle stamp set, and I absolutely love how this card turned out.

Check out the amazing projects created by the rest of the design team!

This month's theme is to Creating Backgrounds.
I started with a Balmy Blue card base and created a soft watercolored background. Once the watercolour was completely dry, I stamped the images in Black ink over the top, creating a beautiful contrast that really makes the design stand out.
