3 Companies - 1 Blog Hop

Not one, not two but THREE COMPANIES have come together to bring you a fantastic collection of images, sentiments and even matching embellishments to get your creative minds flowing with ideas!

WHO ARE THEY??

If you have been following the lead up to our big release then you may have taken a stab at guessing who we are.

If you guessed...



Whimsy Stamps, Make it Crafty & Little Miss Muffet Stamps,



then you are correct!! Woot!

Now as you can imagine there are HEAPS of prizes to be won but before all that, join us on our incredible inspiration hop where the talented girls from our teams share different ways you can combine our products.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

With it being Valentine's Day, of course the theme has an element of love... whether it be friendships, a thank you or even a romantic kiss in Paris... you are sure to feel the love all round.

So if you have just popped by to say hi and stumbled into this hop you may want to

START AT THE BEGINNING!
Otherwise you should have arrived from Frea's fabulous blog.

Here is what I made.
To make my card I used the gorgeous digi "Natalie the painter" by Little Miss Muffet. It has been colored using derwent coloursoft and Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, as well as some copics for the skin tones.

After coloring I cut the girl and easel out and adhered to Whimsy Stamps brand new background stamp "Notebook Page" from the Raindrop Echo collection, just released TODAY!

The paper that you see behind all this was made by printing out one of the brand new Paris Elements complete scene by Make it Crafty. I used the direct to paper technique to give it some color.

The postage stamp on the top left and the "paris" postmark that you can see stamped on the Notebook page on the bottom left are from the set "Vintage Postage Stamps" from the Raindrop Echo collection by Whimsy Stamps, also just released.

I embellished with some lace and diecut flowers and brads. The beautiful flourishes were made using Whimsy's "vines" shapeology die. To finish it off I added a notebook spiral die cut and a couple corner dies, both from Whimsy Stamps Shapeology die collection. Both of these dies are brand new today!

The sentiment "Cherished Friend" is from the set Friendship Notables 2 from an earlierWhimsy Stamps release. I used a brand new chipboard frame, available at Make it Crafty, to frame it. This frame fits Whimsy Stamps friendship notables 2 die and sentiments. They are amazing and so beautiful. And they are available in a few other shapes too, matching other Whimsy stamps and dies. If you are in the US you can also buy those chipboard frames at Whimsy Stamps.

I'd love to enter my card to the following challenges:
