pinwheel in pear. Between all of the layers is a pop dot, with a sparkle in the middle of the green. The pinwheel "stick" is a piece of grey baker's twine. The butterflies are from the color-ready trinkets wooden shapes. "You make my world go 'round" is stamped in gypsy pigment ink.

The Everything's ABC's blog hop letter "E"

 
Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post.

If you came from " Lucy ~ Love 2 Create"  then you're on the right track!

 For my "E" I chose Embossing. I cut my card base out of slate card stock, 41/4 x 5 1/2. I think inked the edges with the pigment ink Indian corn blue using a sponge dauber. I cut the hexagon from white daisy card stock at 1.2 inches,  using the cricut cartridge Accent Essentials. I stamped the hexagons using the Honeycomb stamp set, using the mini pigment inks. While the ink was still wet, I sprinkled the hexagons with startdust transparent embossing powder, which when heated  left my hexagons sparkley. The sentiment was stamped using the Indian corn blue, and the sentiment is from the Fabulous you stamp set. I then placed bitty sparkles all over to give the card more sparkle.
