Welcome to the Crafty Cupcakes Team Stampin' Up! Blog Hop for
October 2017. Each month members of the Team take part in our Team Blog Hop to
share with you our cards and projects made using the fabulous Stampin' Up!
products. You are currently visiting Jillian Selwood from the UK and below you
will see the full list of everyone taking part. To move to the next blog just

This month our theme is Inspired by
nature. I worked in the Falkland Islands for 14 months years ago and it was so strange to live somewhere with absolutely no trees. When I came home I really noticed them and I realised how much I had taken them for granted before. Now I love watching the buds appearing in the Spring and equally love watching the leaves turn colour in the Autumn. Isn't nature amazing?
Anyway I digress, I've wanted to make a Retiform card for a while so this seemed the perfect opportunity. What is Retiform I hear you ask? Well the official Definition of retiform is crossing lines and interstices, reticular, netlike.
I used the gorgeous Stamp Set Lovely as a tree and managed to use all the stamps in the set so that was a bonus as well. The sentiment comes from the Colourful Seasons stamp set.
For the inks I used Lemon Lime Twist, So Saffron, Peekaboo Peach and Basic Black Archival.
Thank you once again for visiting my blog and taking part in
our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to
