Hello Friends!! How are you?
Guess what? I have some good news for you. The FOUR stamps that I used on my card are my giveaway today (thanks to Purple Onion). PLUS ALL of Purple Onion Designs stamps will be 25% off until Aug. 28th. Pretty sweet right! You can find today’s collection here.
These little critters are super fun to color and fun to add some little tiny details like patterns to the clothes. I always like to make the eyes a little larger so I added enamel accents. Wink of Stella was added to parts of the clothes.
Just a little Glossy Accents on the trees, ice skates and noses.
Now the GIVEAWAY! (the four stamps used on my card) To quality just tell me if I was able to entice you to visit The Purple Onion Designs Blog with a yes or no on my blog. The cards on their blog are so inspiring I think you will agree. I will announce a winner Wednesday Aug 26th.
TIME FOR SOME WINNERS!!! Lots of winners 🙂 A big THANKS to Patti for organizing the winners for me and randomly picking the winners. I have handed off my giveaways to Patti to be my “Giveaway Manager” this way the prizes will be mailed in a timely fashion and you will get quicker responses etc.
