Color Combo Blog Hop~with a RAK!!!!

Welcome to the Color Combo Blog Hop!!!
If you arrived from http://snapsandsnippets.blogspot.com/ you are in the right place! If you are here and didn’t come from the previous blog, I am listing the hop below my post so you can go start back at the beginning if you wish!  

I love the color combo that was picked ~the turquoise and blue with some sand colors, looks awesome together!! This is a gift card~the paper size is about a 4 X 11 1/2. I embossed the cardtsock with a desired image, double matted to get all of the color combos in.


The flower is made with some vintage trim and Gluebers by Cosmo Cricket.  Making those flowers is some serious fun, let me tell you!!!!  The ticket is by Jenni Bowlin and so is the button.


Ric Rack trim makes an awesome flower using the Gluebers as the foundation for the perfect flower!! I also added a little brown paper bag for a gift card.  To close the card I tied bakers twine around several time and tied a bow.  To open the card slip the bakers twine up on the front of the card to close it up slip it back down.  I am including the list of peep's particapating in the Color Combo Blog Hop~
