February Sparkle Blends Release Hop

Hello Doodle Fans! Its time for another exciting release blog hop! We’ve got 6 brand new blends to share with you this month: Cozy, Storm Cloud, Good Luck Charm, Mardi Gras Parade, Birthstone Collection: February - Amethyst and Birthstone Collection: March - Aquamarine. we just know you’re going to find some sparkle to love! To see detailed descriptions of each of the February Sparkle Blends release, check out our release blog post!
This release has a variety of beautiful blends to choose from! Do you have a favorite? In honor of Valentine’s Day, comment with your favorite blend on the original Doodles Paper Playground post, for a chance to win a package of Conversation Hearts from our December release.
For my card, I chose to work with the We're Turning One Sparkle Blend. I love the bright colors in this mix. From the blues and greens, to the hot pink and purples. I adore the wide range of sizes and shapes too. This Sparkle Blend is just beautiful. And you can only get it (for free!) with a purchase of $10 or more at White Rose Crafts, while supplies last.
My focal layer was created with Stampendous' Flutters & Flowers stamp set. This is one big stamp, and it fits perfectly on a standard sized card. I colored it in with Zig Clean Color Markers. I don't usually make shakers that are basically the size of my card, but this stamp was too pretty to trim, and I really wanted to show off the "We're Turning One" Sparkle Blend. I used an Elizabeth Crafts Designs die cut to make my border around my shaker, and I used foam tape to seal it. I used a simple sentiment from Simon Says Stamp's Tiny Words stamps, just to finish the card off. The sentiment is perfect for almost any occasion, which is why I chose it. Now, read on to find out all of the prize info and full hop list.

This card is the most beautiful shaker. I adore the whole look of the card. Such a lovely card!
This lovely floral card is perfect for any occasion by just changing the sentiment on it. By making it a shaker card just adds that extra special touch that makes it outstanding.

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts.  This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink. And ...

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
