Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Waffle Flower for their May Release Blog Hop!
My first project features the fun new Sunshine stamp set along with the Sun Shine Panel die.
I die cut the Sun Shine Panel die onto white cardstock and blended distress inks onto each die cut “ray”. Then I popped up each ray with foam tape and stamped the sentiment from the Sunshine stamp set.
My next project features the adorable Sweet Ice Cream Combo.
I used a few of the dies from the Ice Cream Combo set and die cut them onto the pink grid pattern paper. Then I stamped the images and colored them using Copics.
Giveaway:
To celebrate the blog hop, Waffle Flower is giving away $25 gift certificates to THREE lucky winners. Leave me a comment by 11:59pm ET on 5/7/18 for your chances to win. Winners will be chosen at random from all of the comments and will be announced on the Waffle Flower blog on 5/9/2018.
