We hope that you will take the time to leave comments on our posts, as we love to get feedback from our viewers....whether it was something that you really liked or some new technique that was used that you would like to learn how to do....by leaving us comments, we get to hear what you like, and what you want to see. Thank you… now on to our hop! 

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop and I'm the first person when hopping from East to West. If you came from the awesome artwork of Candra then you are in the right place! 



I love the sentiment Happy Birthday from this stamp set, and decided to just focus on that. I used Lagoon cardstock with the Chevron Embossing folder, and the Blossom Paper along with ZipStrip for my base. I then matted the sentiment on a piece of Smoothie Cardstock.  The flowers are from the stamp set Wavy Blooms and are coloured and blended using the ShinHan Alcohol Markers and Blending pen.

Colours Used:

Turquoise Blue, Cerulean Blue Light, Marigold, Golden Yellow, Cherry Pink & Tender Pink

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is the fabulous artwork from Rosalynd.
