Heartfelt Creations DT Alumni Hop

It's time again for the Heartfelt Creations Design Team Alumni monthly blog hop... We've chosen the last Tuesday of each month to share a project featuring Heartfelt Creations' stamps when we can, just for fun.  If you'd like a chance at winning a prize, be sure to leave a comment on every blog along the hop by Friday - there is a $25 gift certificate up for grabs for one random commenter! I am at the top of the hop list today, so if you're ready to hop, you are in the right place!

I shared this card earlier in the month on Splitcoaststampers as it fit one of the challenges for Hope You Can Cling To. It has been such a fun month of creativity, support, and encouragement!


The Cardinal image is stamped onto four white Inchie Plus squares from Inchie Arts. I used reinkers, watercolor markers, and Inktense pencils to color in the scene. I can't find it on the site now... maybe it's been retired...? I'm keeping mine though... this is my favorite cardinal ever. :)


Ready to hop on? Your next stop is Tesa's Scrap! Thanks for joining us!!
