Edited to add: The blog hop is on until Monday Dec 22 at noon EST.
To thank you for taking time out of this busy season just to do this hop with us, I'll be offering up three digi's (winner's choice) from my digital collection of images at Whimsy Stamps to one commentor. All you have to do to be eligible is leave a comment on this post. Denise has a prize handy too, so don't forget to visit the last stop as well!
Today the Whimsy DT members (plus Yours Truly) are hosting a friendship hop in honor of a special member of the Whimsy Stamps family, Simonne Clay. Simonne has been a fixture here at Whimsy for many years and we all just wanted to show our appreciation for all that she does for each of us and for sharing her amazing talent as an illustrator. Simmone has gone above and beyond to show support for Whimsy and to help out fellow members of the Whimsy team. Her presence will be missed by many of us here at Whimsy, but we wish her all the best in her new ventures. Thank you Simmone, for brightening up my life personally and for giving so much to our Whimsy Team! I will miss you!
I'll be sending this card to Simmone. I used, "Special Delivery Pup", one of my older rubber images. I stamped it on water colour paper and painted it with water colour paints. Die cuts are "Elegant Flourishes". Sentiments also from Whimsy.
The heart is embossed but it was a "repurposed" piece from a store-bought card! I thought it went nicely with the rest of the card.
Had to refrain from any sort of embellishing that would fatten up this card as it has to fly overseas. So no pearls, flowers, lace, pop-ups, charms or distressed edges. I kept all the embellishing flat. I'm hoping it works, even without all the extras!!
Be sure to pop on over to Denise's blog now, the last blog on the stop. Here is your blog list for your convenience:
