'ello (& goodbye!) EAD blog hop

how is it even possible that february is already over? how can this be my last official EAD Designs blog hop??!?! the last time i will tell you that if you're doing the hop in order, you should have arrived from the lovely shellye's blog, the papered cottage, and that if not you should pop back to the EAD Designs blog so that you can comment on each post for a chance at an awesome EAD prize?


sadly, it *IS* the last time for all of that, but happily i have a really cool card to show you, so let's get right to it!

(EAD stickers: london town set; vintage: underground map, bobby and union jack illustrations; patterned paper: k&co + scraps of basic grey, doodlebug, dcwv; black glossy cardstock: ranger; transparency: making memories; black pearls: kaiser; ribbon: basic grey; adhesives: tombow monorunner, 3m foam tape, gluedots, sewing machine)
i used EAD's these awesome london town stickerz, which i ordered on the clear backing so that i could do exactly this sort of paper-piecing with them! once again, i found cause to be extra-glad that stickerz are re-positionable, since midway through my design i realized that i didn't have enough contast going on, and i needed to swap out the papers i'd used under a couple of stickers. luckily, it was, as this sheet itself says, "easy peasy"!!!  :)


apart from the stickerz, i didn't need much in the way of supplies: a few london-themed vintage illustrations from a children's dictionary, a bit of an underground map, scraps of patterned paper, lovely clouds as a background, and a bit of ribbon to (sorry, i can't help saying it!) TIE everything together! (it's a sickness... truly... i apologize!) :)


and thus this concludes my post and my last official duty as february's EAD guest designer. i'd like to thank miss emily, and the entire design team for the warmest of welcomes, and an entire month of the most fun a card-makin' gal can have! all that remains for me to tell you one final time about the fabulous free shipping on stickerz and rub-ons:


and now i shall send you off to your next stop, tsuruta designs, because i know my dearest darling amy has something ♥WONDERFUL♥ to show you!

ps: for a little more EAD Design goodness, why not check out the current JINGLE BELLES prompt, stuck on you? we're using stickerz and rub-ons... and many of the lovely EAD DT ladies have made gorgeous holiday cards to inspire you!!! ♥♥♥

  16. This turned out so cute. I would have never thought to get those stickers and do that. Very cool. England type things really are appealing to me lately. Love the card!
