Our sponsor at Stamps R Us for our Birthday themed challenge is Whimsie Doodles!
To help Stamps R Us celebrate our birthday Whimise Doodles is giving our fans a 10% off coupon good for 30 days from the start of our current challenge! For your shopping pleasure the code for a 10% discount is SRU10.
For my first card I used Penelope and colored her with Copic markers R20, YR00, E000, E0000, B21, B23, Y21, YR21, YR24, C00, C3, C4, C6, E44, E43, E42. I tried a fun layout using Spellbinders circle dies, a Martha Stewart border punch, Dew Drops and Cuttlebug embossing folders as well as the retired Stampin' Up! French Script background stamp. My "happy birthday" sentiment is from a Woodware USA clear stamp set.
My second card is for my SIL's birthday using the Whimsie Doodles stamp set called Paws I Care. The image is colored with Copic markers V17, V15, V12, R27, R24, R22, E44, E43, E42, C6, C3. I used the Spellbinders Grand Circle dies, Ovals, Doodle Parts a Quickutz die flower & Heart border by Die Namics. There's even a piece of acetate in there, next time it's going through the Cuttlebug!
I hope you enjoy our blog hop and I wish you the best of luck winning some of our fabulous sponsor's prizes!
