The hop starts today (Tuesday August 20th at 12.00PM EST), runs through the entire August release week, and ends on Friday August 23rd at 12.00PM EST.
For this hop we have a GRAND PRIZE DRAW! One lucky hopper will WIN the entire new release of ALL FOUR TFTD STAMPS. We're not telling you at which blog the grand prize is being hosted, so be sure to complete the hop to find it!
Here is what I created, using the super cute stamp "Heart Ballon" from
our new Illustrator -Time for Tea Designs. I used my copics for
coloring. Coloring isn't as good as I like it to be, but that's ok, I am
sure I too will get better with practice.
Colors used:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20
Hair: E31, E33, E35, E37, E39, white prismacolor pencil
Dress: B0000, B00, B02
Balloon: R81, R83, R85, 0- colorless blender
Shoes: E31, E35, E37
Eyes: YG95
Here is another view.
The beautiful sentiment is one of the stamps from the new set "Birthday Greetings 2".
Not sure if you can tell, but I have also stamped it onto the sand card
stock behind the image, using linen distress ink. I sentiment circle
needed something else, so I decided to use one of the stamps from the
set "Itty Bitty Backgrounds" from SU (long retired) around the
sentiment.
The beautiful dragonflies were diecut using Whimsy's new die "Dragonfly Border" which will be officially released tomorrow. It is soooo pretty! I added some stickles glitter to it for some sparkle.
The
designer paper in the background is from a 6x6 paper pack by Prima
Marketing. Besides the dragonfly border I embellished with a little
flower and rhinestone.
To finish it off I did some sewing, and then added some paper piercing to the right side.
