Welcome to the YNS January Release Blog Hop!!

I'm so glad you're here! There are soooo many amazing new stamps and dies to show off, so let's get right to it!

    

I fell in love with this set as soon as I saw it, and I think you will, too! This is Froggie Love...

  

   

Aren't they "toad"ally adorable?! :)

   

    

The hearts are cut from the new Outline Hearts Die, popped up, and scattered on the card. I also used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut out the layers of the card.

 

Here is a close-up look of the colored froggie... I decided to try the "no-line" techique to color him in, and I love how it turned out! Instead of my usual black ink pad, I used Memento Pear Tart, since it was a pretty close match to the Copics I wanted to use, and as a result the lines are almost unseen.

This next cutie was also a blast to color! Here is Little Darling Archer...

    

  

Just look at all that hair!!

   

  

I used the Stitched Rectangles once again, along with the Circles Dies, and Stitching Marks Circles Dies. She is colored with Copics, and I added some sparkle to the gold trim on her dress using my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.
