At last! It's the LADYBUG CRAFTS INK first ever Blog Hop you should have arrived here from Lisa J's blog. If not go back to the start at KERRY’S blog.
The blog hop is to celebrate the first projects made by the new Design Team over at LADYBUG CRAFTS INK. We have all been given the challenge of using the Nikki Mermaid image in any way we choose. We haven't even seen each other's DT cards yet so I'm just as excited as you to see what they have come up with!
Okay, drum roll, here is my card.....
I must say that I love playing with all of the stamps of the Nikki and friends collection. They feature Nikki (obviously!) with A.N.Other little friend like a dog, cat and...even fish! Cute, huh? Nikki is a pleasure to colour in and I did my usual cutting out, but I also stamped just the bubbles and "movements" on the background to add to the depth.
There are 3 prizes to be won on the blog hop - one stamp for each prize from the LADYBUG CRAFTS INK collection. So...... what do you have to do to win?.... It’s simple.......
Your next step on the hop is MICHELE.
I am also submitting this card into the following challenges...
Stamps: Mermaid Nikki, CC Designs sentiments
Mediums: Copic markers
Accents: twine from John Lewis
Tools: Nestabilities label (inside card) and rectangle dies, EK Success border punch
