Hello blog hoppers!

Welcome to the Back to School Blog Hop! It officially starts at Michelle Perkett Studios Challenge Blog but if this is your first stop, just hop along the list of blogs until you end up back here!

What are you searching for you ask? There are 9 letters out there that will spell a secret word! There is 1 blog that has a letter that you will use twice. Don’t worry, she’ll let you know that you’ll need to do that when you get there!

We have a hint for you: it’s a School Subject!

As soon you collect the letters and unscramble them so that you know the word, go to one of the Communities: Paper Craft Planet, Crafter’s Digital Art Center, SNR-The Card Universe and send Michelle a personal message with the word in it. Don’t forget to include your email address in your email to Michelle! She needs to know how to contact you if you win!

If you’re not a member of one of those Communities, you can join any one of them for free. If you get a message saying you can’t email Michelle until you’re friends with her, just ask to be friends and she’ll respond as soon as she can. You’ll be able to then send her a message. You only need to send her a message from ONE of the Communities mentioned above.

Want to know the great news? There will be 2 (TWO) winners!! They will be announced on Tuesday, August 31st on the Challenge Blog!

Here is a card to give you a hint on what the letter is that I have for you:

Supplies:
Michelle Perkett Studio Stella the Summer Storyteller Digi Stamp
Copic Markers
P K Glitz Sticky Paper and Glitter
Spellbinders dies
Scenic Route DP
Michael’s Ribbon
CPS Sketch #181

So, there’s a couple hints in my card —— I have a lot of Red and Stella is Reading right?

My letter is “R”, so write it down  while you collect the others and away you go to finding the right word!

Not only have I been having fun recently with digital stamps, but I’ve found Artists whose work is both in digital stamps and rubber stamps! Isn’t that the best of both worlds??

I’ve been making projects for Heather at Faerie Song Art Stamps for 3 yrs this month (wow) using many of the stamps she offers from different Designers. Michelle Perkett is one of those Designers. I’ve seen a glimpse of other images from her here and there on Paper Craft Planet and wondered where they were offered. Well, she has her own Etsy store and blog with a ton of images!

How exciting! More than just faerie creatures and all in that great artist stroke! She recently gave away this neat cake image AND is having a DT call! I thought this image would look GREAT printed on acetate and colored in with glitter – well, cakes with candles are for celebrating right? I kept the card design on the simple side because the image is so nice on a larger card. I hope you like it!

Supplies:
Michelle Perkett Studio cake digi stamp
P K Glitz glitter
Crystal Lacquer
Office Depot acetate
Spellbinders Impressabilities circle texture
Corner punch
Clearsnap ink

Click on the card for a bigger version to view. I printed the image on acetate, colored in the different portions of the cake with Crystal Lacquer one at a time and added the color glitter that I wanted. This is all done on the back of the image so that the detail is nice and clear when you flip it over. The letters were traced with Crystal Lacquer and sprinkled with all of the glitter colors for a rainbow effect. The ink on the embossed background design was done using a DTP technique.

Enjoy your afternoon!
