Each mini blog hop has a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24hrs to enter each prize draw by leaving a comment on every blog listed for that day. At the end of release week (Wednesday 26 September) we will post a Release Round-Up on the Whimsy blog. This will include a selection of DT work from the new release week together with a complete list of winners from the daily mini blog hops. 

Before I show you my card today I want to let you all know I have some *** Candy *** for you :-) As it was my birthday this month I thought I share some sweet stuff with you!  Please scroll down to the end of this posting to read all about it!

And here is what I created with one of the new Wee stamps designed by Sylvia Zet for Whimsy:

This is 'Holly' and she was stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto MIC card. I then colored her using my Copics. DP is from Basic Grey and I've used the following dies & punches: Whimsy Shapeology - Star Spangled Tag, Layered Snowflakes, Martha Stewart - branch punch, holly punch. The sentiment is one of the freebies Denise includes with orders.

I frosted the flowers (WOC) using coarse glass glitter to give them a bit more of a wintery look. I also added Stickles and glass glitter to some of the snowflakes.  Other embellishments used: Ivory bubble hat pin and crystal stem (both from Whimsy), button, jingle bell, rhinestones, pearl brad and seam binding ribbon (also from Whimsy)

 The inside is decorated to match the outside

 This card was also published in the September issue of Paper & Pixel Magazine

and has been sold to Heike F., thank you so much!
