Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps birthday hop!
Welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Birthday Blog Hop! A fantastic group of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps design team members and guests (past and present), along with some special friends, have put together this fabulous Birthday Blog Hop to kick off a whole month of fun in celebration of SNSS's 4th birthday. How fun to be a part of this amazing group!
If you just happened on the blog hop because you're a regular reader of my blog, and you'd like to view the entire hop, you can start back at the Sweet 'n Sassy Blog - you'll find a full list of participants there, and all the details you need. If you're already hopping and you arrived here from Ceal's blog, you're doing just fine.
This is another one of the cards I made for the Hope You Can Cling To card drive at Splitcoaststampers. The cardinal from the Christmas Joy set is watercolored using dye reinkers, and embellished with a little white glitter from Martha Stewart. The sentiment I used is from one of my sets, called Christmas Tags.... Christmas Tags is a really versatile set with sentiments that can be combined or used separately, at Christmas or throughout the year! Love it, and I'm looking forward to the matching tag die!
Here's a closer look at the watercolored image:
After you leave a comment here, you'll be hopping on to Margo's blog - Happy hopping, and good luck to you! We have 36 stops so the hop will stretch over three days - feel free to take your time visiting each blog! You have until 11:59pm EST November 9th to leave comments on as many blogs as you can. On Saturday, November 12th, Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps will announce FOUR winners (chosen at random from comments on random stops along the hop). Each lucky winner will receive a prize pack including stamps, dies, paper & twine valued at $40!

My hat is off to you! Most people would do the male cardinal because he is so bright red and beautiful. You took the female and made her the most gorgeous watercolor I have seen in a long time! Great job,
Very pretty in pink!
Exquisite watercolored bird! GORGEOUS! Love the snow on the branches also! Also like the fancy border beneath the sentiment. And the dots on the sentiment strip adds a nice touch. Love the cardstock color!!!!
