Tiffany Doodles Spring Blog Hop!

Welcome to a 3 day blog hop from Tiffany Doodles! Between March 4th through the 6th, visit our design team and see their cards featuring lots of new digis by Tiffany.

Each blog is having a Tiffany Doodles digital stamp giveaway, so make sure you visit all the blogs and leave a comment, for more chances to win! And there's also a grand prize being offered at Tiffany Doodles! Check it out here!

I made a simple circle card with my Nestabilities and the Cheery Birds digital stamp set. The cloud background is by Hero Arts, and the grass and sky were ink distressed with Ranger distress inks and splotched with water. The sentiment and flowers are also from Hero Arts.

This set contains four adorable images, plus a sentiment, too. Simply leave a comment here for your chance to win this cute
set--perfect for spring!

And for the month of March, you can choose your discount while shopping in the Tiffany Doodles store.

You'll receive a 10% discount off of 5 items in the store, or 20% off any 10 items in the store. You can mix and match any stamps and digital papers, too.

Here's the list of design team members. You have 3 days to hop and comment on all the blogs to be eligible for the prizes. I'll announce the winner of Cheery Birds on March 7th, the date of the next Tiffany Doodles challenge!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Please join me here tomorrow for another blog hop....Enjoy your weekend!

Playing with doilies

When I saw all the doily goodness that my uber creative friend Virginia shared here, I wanted to give doilies a try, so I pulled out my Lawn Fawn Sew Lovely and Lunar Lights stamp sets.

The dress form was stamped on some (old!) Cosmo Cricket papers, and the lanterns were stamped on some (very old!) Studio Calico papers. The background stripes are Hero Arts' Large Canvas Stripes, stamped with Antique Linen distress ink, which has become one of my fave backgrounds.

I pleated one fourth of the edge of a paper doily and that became the skirt. A few pink pearls along the waist and here's a "best dressed" dress form! Thanks for the inspiration, Virginia!

Stamps: Lawn Fawn, Hero Arts background
Cardstock: Paper Accents
Paper: Cosmo Cricket, Studio Calico
Ink: Versafine, Ranger distress ink
Other: doily, pearls, pop dots, gemstones
Finished card size is 4.25" square

And here's a heads up that Tiffany Doodles will have a blog hop from March 4th through the 6th, with a new challenge presented on the 7th. Every blog will offer prizes--me too!--so be sure to mark your calendars and hop along!
