Friends of True’s * Swirly Spring Blog Hop!

Published by at 6:00 am under Blog Hop,Inky Antics

Welcome to the “Friends of True’s – Swirly Spring” Blog Hop!

If you are here from Linda Lucas’ blog, you are in the right place.  If you just happened onto mine you will want to head back to True’s blog where it all starts.  There will be a prize package donated by Inky Antics that includes  True’s entire, newly released, Swirly Spring stamp line!

~

 

Even before True invited me to join in her Swirly Spring Blog Hop, I had already picked up her Swirly Sunshine & Flowers set  from Inky Antics.   Hmmmmmm … Perhaps it’s fair to say that joining the hop was simply meant to be!

And now, it’s even better than when I first brought the stamps home.   (Huh?) Now, True’s own patterned papers are available as well!  I’ve used two of them in my creation.  As you can see, they are accompany her stamp sets beautifully.  The sunshine papers make me smile for sure!

The larger image was stamped & colored, then trimmed and die cut for the out-of-the-die-box presentation on the card front.   For the simple inside of the card, I used the smaller single flower that’s also included in the stamp set, along with one of the great sentiments.

Hop Details & fine print:  Make sure to leave a comment on every stop, to increase your chances of winning the prize package. One lucky commenter from a randomly picked blog will win all 6 stamp sets!  The winner will be announced on True’s Blog on Monday, March 11th.

>>>> Your next stop along the way is the very talented Dina Kowal’s blog.  Happy Hopping!

Be sure to treat yourself to loads of inspiration from all of the talented designers joining in the hop!
