New Pink Your Life and a blog hop


Hey, crafty friends! It's incredible that we are already half way through January in the new year and I'm finally blogging! What better way to start off than with a blog hop with Stampendous!


That's right it is blog hop time with new stamps by Nicoletta Zanella from Pink Your Life! You'll want to stop by the Stampendous blog today because there are so many ways to win stamps throughout the hop!!!!


Here's my crafty project made just for the hop.




I had a little bit of fun with assembling the wagon carts plus a few Whisper friends popping up for a surprise!


I colored these cuties with Copic markers, a list is down below, and the background is made with gesso sponged over Cathedral Windows Metal Stencil, and then a wash of Various Ink refills diluted with rubbing alcohol.


These new stamps are SO much fun to play with, I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the hop this week, I'll be back on Friday with another fun project.

Stop by the Stampendous blog today for more inspiration and details on the prizes!
