For your chance to win BLOG CANDY, (a set that will be released NEXT month), visit and comment on each of the following design team members' blogs TODAY. On Saturday, January 15, 2011, a winner will be chosen from those participants who visited all the blogs listed for today. (There will be four different winners, one winner for each day of the blog hop. You DO NOT have to comment every day. However, the more days you comment, the more chances you have to win!) If you miss a day, you can go back and comment on each day's blogs, as the winners will be chosen Saturday morning.

Today we are featuring the "Happy Pansies" stamp set:

For this month's blog hop, I have decided not to make any standard-sized cards.  Today, I made a purse-shaped card using an Accucut die and Accucut die cutter.  I used the "Happy Pansies" set to stamp with Versamark and emboss with black embossing powder.  I colored in the flowers and ladybug with Copic markers.  I completed the outside of the card by adding a large gem sticker from Jolee's.  Because of the beauty of the flower stamp and the font on the sentiment, I did not think that the card needed anything else.

Here's the inside of the purse card.  I stamped the single pansy several times with tone-on-tone pink.  I finished it off with another sentiment.  Whether you color the flowers in or not, the flowers look equally elegant.

WEDNESDAY, January 12, 2011- Happy Pansies

    How sweet! This is a good feminine card- love the pansies and how they are colored on the front and outlined on the inside to carry through the theme.

    I seem to recall in a distant, misty memory having a purse something like that one with pansies on it when I was a girl. That is so cute. Really brought back memories of Sunday mornings.
