The hop begins today and and ends on Wednesday, March 23rd at 12 noon (EST). There are loads of prizes to be won all through the hop!
I am using a new Kenny K rubber stamp called Club Kid for my card.
The colouring is done with me trusty Copics - I have been experimenting with colouring more defined facial features and Kenny K images are perfect for that. Of course I lost the list of colours I used, I know the skin tones are E13/11/01/00/000 though. And pants are done with cool greys to lift the image off the warm brown/grey background.
The layout itself is almost embarrassingly simple - I loved the paper so much that I was reluctant to cover it up. Some scissor-distressing, a sentiment cut out from the designer paper, random scattering of brads.
I ran couple of tape gun lines and ruffled some silky ribbon on it, then stood the image on another ribbon on top of it so it wouldn't be "hovering". Oh, and that lush paper is from MME.
So now it's time for you to continue the hop by hopping on over to Denise's blog - expect to be blown away!!
Thank you so much for hopping with us today and I hope you enjoy the new releases!
Hugs
