For the hop I am continuing my Sparkle Blend Birthday Stone gift tag series.  Today I am so excited to be using the new August Peridot and September Sapphire collections along with some Jillibean Soup shaker tags.

Peridot

Sapphire

I pulled out the tags and stamped some floral images on each of these Mason Jar shaker tags.

For the August Tag I used Distress Oxides in Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles and Twisted Citron.

I blended some of the mowed lawn oxide even inside

For the September tag I used Distress Oxides in Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feather, and Shaded Lilac.

I blended some of the Blueprint Sketch inside the tag for that bold pop of color.

Make sure you pop along on each of the other stops in the hop.  Your next stop along the path is Carolyn.
