Flower Soft/Penny Black blog hop

I'm so excited to be joining some of the Flower Soft designers in a joint blog hop with the Penny Black design team! Both companies have some great prizes up for grabs for a few lucky commenters and participants. 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 at the Penny Black Blog - there you'll find a full list of participants, and all the details you need. If you're already hopping and you arrived here from Cathy Andronicou's blog, you're doing just fine.

I colored this sweet image (Micey Day clear set) using my Touch Twin Markers, and framed it in some die cut windows (cut with a Quickutz circle die and a Cheery Lynn doily die). I used Penny Black's Rose Garden cardstock (pink) along with a few small scraps of Memory Box cardstock for the leaves. The base panel is embossed with a Sizzix Texturz plate. I added Sweet Pea Flower Soft to the bouquet and Ivory Flower Soft to the flower center (die from Cheery Lynn Designs).
These are the Touch Twin Markers that I used:
To be eligible to win a prize, be sure to leave a comment on all participating blogs - easy as that! 3 random commenters will receive brand new 2012 Penny Black Valentine stamps, and 3 commenters will receive a bottle of Flower Soft glue and 3 pots of Flower Soft (Poppy Red, Peony Pink, Polar White).

For the grand prize, use one of the Blog Hop projects as inspiration and create a new Penny Black stamped project. Upload it into the Penny Black gallery by the end of the Hop with the tag “pennyblackbloghop”. Be sure to let us know which project inspired you! A winner will be chosen to GUEST DESIGN at the Penny Black Blog!

After you leave a comment here, you'll be hopping on to Peet Roeven's blog - hope you're enjoying the hop so far!

Thanks for stopping by!
