Woo Hoo, who doesn't enjoy a party!! I'm thrilled to be involved in this SSW #100 anniversary celebration.

Thank you for offering your blog candy to us. I love Michael's and would be thrilled to be able to shop using that card! LOL

Card making tip: I make lots of cards and really enjoy using my copics to color them. I like to coordinate my flowers with the paper I used, so enjoy using punches to do just that. It just makes the card so much prettier to me!!

Love the pink/green colour combo on your card & those little butterflies are so cute! Great sketch too, congrats on reaching 100! Hmmm my favorite technique I think would be embossing. Thanks for the chance to win your fab candy. I'm in Canada but we have a cabin in the US so I could use it there! So nice to see another fellow Cdn Blogger :)

Oh what a beautiful card you have made for the hop. I just love the color combo and the image you picked is one of my faves.
Love the pink and green combo on your card. Fab candy but I don't think I could use it(don't live in the US)- know people who could though! My favourite card making technique has to be stamping although more of the digi kind.
Julia said…
Very nice! :)
Kathy said…
Gorgeous card. Love the pink and green and your big yummy bow! Beautifully done. My fave technique is probably copic coloring (not sure if that is really a technique?). Glad to become a follower of your blog!

Rene said…
Your card is so beautiful!! I just love the colours you used!

Not from the USA, so will pass on the gift, but my favourite technique is colouring in & paper punching a close second..:)

Great card and the ribbon is fantastic! I'm in the UK so will also have to pass - but lovely idea!! And mine is colouring and any type of colouring too!
