Tiddly Inks Blog Hop

The Tiddly Inks blog hop today gave me another great reason to play around with the new Wryn images.  If you haven't come from there, be sure to hop over to the site here for a free digital download today and other chances to win prizes.  The designers are uber-talented, and there are also many impressive creations from Tiddly Inks papercrafting fans.

hmmm..... wonder which friend will see this card in a mailbox soon...

It's not like me to get cards done more than a month ahead of time, but with some motivation from the CAS-ual Fridays blog, I did it!  For the chipboard challenge there, and for one sponsored by Simon Says Stamp at Lily Pad cards, I created not one, but TWO Valentine's cards already.  I used both the punch out ....

and the negative space....

 from a Fancy Pants chipboard piece.  Each is painted with acrylics and stamped in black with a Hero Arts background stamp.  Quick, easy, and done early- gotta' love that!

Happy 40th Susan!

As soon as I saw this brand new image, Wryn- new nest, from Tiddly Inks I thought of a dear friend with a birthday soon.  I love the way Wryn looks colored with Prismacolors- can't wait to see how see dresses up in Copics.  Following the latest wonderful sketch from Deconstructed Jen, I created this card...
