Hi there crafty friends! Welcome to my stop on this fun March product release blog hop from Pretty Pink Posh! Yipppeeee! I LOVE PPP stamps and dies. Paulina does such an amazing job of making the cutest stamps and most innovative dies for us to play with. I'm very excited to be joining with so many wonderful designers today and tomorrow for this big hop. If you're new to my blog today - welcome! Happy to have you here for a bit! The full list of blogs for today's hop is at the bottom of my post. If you want to start at the beginning CLICK HERE to go to the Pretty Pink Posh Blog! This is a two day blog hop! (YEAH!) and there are four prizes up for grabs. Please leave a comment here for a chance to win a PPP gift certificate.
For my card today I had to use the brand new Friends Forever Stamp Set and matching dies! This stamp set has the cutest little boys and girls and a beautiful heart balloon. I used loads of PPP dies too, and a color palette for Spring of aqua and yellow. Whenever Spring hits, I am all about yellow! It's such a happy color. I used my Copic Markers to color everything and then used some new PPP Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix sequins to finish off my card.
I started with a crisp white A2 card base made from Neenah cardstock. Then I layered pretty aqua on top of the white. I cut out my white layer and the scallop frame in white also. I backed the frame with yellow gingham paper from my stash. Next I stamped, die cut and colored my two girlfriends and the balloon in shades to match the papers. Before I color with my Copics I like to choose my papers first so everything will match. It's much easier to match the paper than to try to find paper to match a colored image later!
The girls are attached to the card using foam tape for dimension, to make them pop right off the page! They are so cute in their matching outfits!! The bow is from the Twine and Bows Die Set and it's just a little something for there at the bottom of my card!
Here are some of my Copic choices. A full list is at the bottom of my post - exactly which colors I used. These new sequins are cool - see? No holes in the middle!
PRIZE ALERT PRIZE ALERT PRIZE ALERT!
There are 4 $25 gift certificates up for grabs (two winners each day). Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 3/17/2017. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog next week!

My favorite thing about your card is the color....aqua is my favorite color. Your card is a winner to me as the cardstock matches perfectly with the ink color. I took a color course in college and boy I still use the techniques I learned in today. My professor would love your card. He'd give you an A++.
