WHIMSY STAMPS BLOG HOP

I'm so glad you joined us in this Whimsy Stamps Blog Hop. I really hope you have enjoyed all of the Design Team blogs. The DT Girls are definitely inspriational! My card is made using the Whimsy Owl. Our "theme" was punches. I used the Bigz Top Note die. I also got to break out my new long rectangle nestabilities. I just got my first nesties, and boy, are they fun!! I colored him with copic markers. The green paper is embossed with the Cuttlebug leaf folder. The paper is from American Crafts. And to finish it off... some velvet ric-rac and pearls. The sentiment is from Gina K.



To complete the blog hop and enter the fabulous blog candy giveaway, you need to head back to Denise's blog. Thanks for Hoppin' with Whimsy Stamps!!
