Core'dinations Blog Hop and Scrap Around the World

Welcome to my post today showcasing Core'dinations Cardstock paper.  Join Core'dinations for an experience  full with design inspiration.  The new design team will be featuring projects that are sure to inspire you to try something new.

My layout below features embossing, sanding, distressing, a technique of water misting and a hot glue application.

My inspirational sketch came from the delightful new blog called Scrap Around the World.  Please visit them.  Owner Helen is a wonderful lady who has selected the best of the best designers.  You will enjoy the creative journey with this team.  My "Ocean Waters calm my Soul"  layout is my entry into the May challenge.

I find sketches to be a great place to start and this sketch allowed me to truly enjoy the texture of Core'dinations Cardstock. 

Below is a close up of the Core Tags, Dark assortment.  See that texture and beautiful jewel tone colors of that core tag?

Try the water misting technique, you'll like it .  Core'dinations Cardstock can be water misted and you can create your own colored matching embellishments.  Hand punch some flower petals, mist with water, shape and dry.  Here is my matching floral cluster below.

Thanks for visiting today, be sure to visit the Core'dinations Blog for lots of inspiration and prizes .
