Blog Hop with Hope Stamps Eternal

Hey there. As I've mentioned before, Rachel re-opened her store Hope Stamps Eternal back up and she organized a fun blog hop today. The participants were to use stamps from The Greeting Farm and the ever so fabulous Bella Blvd. paper. I'm the last stop on the hop, so if you haven't viewed the rest of the cards, please go to the beginning here on Rachel's blog. Don't forget to leave comments along the way because one lucky person will be chosen to win a 6x6 Basic Grey paper pad of their choice!!! WooHoo.

The Greeting Farm stamps are pretty popular at the moment and I can see why. The are all cute. I'm so excited that Rachel is carrying them in her store. I chose to use the Miss Anya set by The Greeting Farm. Rachel wanted me to let y'all know that she has already sold out of this set (because it is so uber adorable), but the good news is she has a new shipment coming in April. So if you're interested in it, be sure to email her so she can put you on the pre-order list!! I chose to use this Anya first. She is just too perfect for Spring, Easter, Mother's Day, Get Well or Thinking of you cards! I colored her in with Copics (my first time using them, did I do okay?). The little tulips are cut out and raised with dimensionals. I also added Stardust Stickles here and there to give it some sparkle. Check out the little pearls too. I added one to the middle of her bow and two down in the corner. Who wouldn't love little pink pearls!!! They are by Memory Box and a ton come in a little package! Remember we were to use Bella Blvd. paper. Have you ever heard of this company? You must check out off of their super cute paper. I can't wait to use the rest of the ones I bought! Especially the Jet Lag and April Showers papers- soooooo cute! Well I used two here: Little Buds and Growing Up. So perfect for this time of year and I love all the details. My card measures 6x3.5! (Details at the end of this post).



I had a little extra time on Saturday, so I sat down and came up with another card using this set. I'm telling you I absolutely love these little girls and they are so much fun to color! I've seen a lot of samples out there and they all look different. I colored this one with Prismacolors and OMS. Her hair with the headband was cut out and raised with dimensionals. I then added some sparkles with Stardust Stickles and drew n a ground with my Micron pen. Again the fabulous paper is Bella Blvd. This one is called Stardust. Isn't it perfect for a girly card? I also couldn't resist using those Memory Box pearls again. These fit neatly into the pattern on the paper. I followed Mojo 79 for the layout.

So there you have it. The end of your hopping. I hope that you had fun and enjoyed all of our samples. I know that we had a blast sharing them with y'all.
