Whimsy October 2014 Release - Grand Blog Hop!

Hello again, and welcome to the...
Whimsy Stamps October Release BLOG HOP!
Our DT and GDT have been sharing some amazing creations made with the new stamps and dies over the last couple of days, and today we are celebrating their release with a GRAND BLOG HOP!

You can see all the stamps and dies from this release, along with the last 2 days hops at the Whimsy blog. And the entire new release is available to buy from the Whimsy Stamps store RIGHT NOW!

For today's card I have used this absolutely adorable new image by Crissy Armstrong called 'Penguins Hang a Wreath'. Oh my goodness I love Crissy's sweet images... they just make me smile! :)

The sentiment is from the 'Winter Wonderland' set by Simonne Clay, and I have also used 'Elegant Notables 1',  'Notables 1' and 'Layered Snowflake' dies. All of these products are available at the Whimsy Stamps store.

The image was stamped twice with Memento ink, and coloured with Copic markers. I then fussy cut the penguins and wreath section from one image, and double mounted it onto the other complete image for extra dimension.

The papers are from a Sweet Shoppe Designs digital kit, and all edges were sponged with Distress Ink 'Frayed Burlap'. The Astor Daisies and Holly Leaves are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and I finished with Stickles for some sparkly snow.

Hope you like my card!
So now it's time for you to continue today's hop!
 

One lucky hopper will win a $25 gift certificate!  To enter the draw, simply leave a comment at EVERY stop along the hop by 12.00pm noon on Friday October 10th.
