Bella's Love Me Do Blog Hop

Welcome to the LOVE ME DO Blog Hop sponsored by Stamping Bella! If you've just happened upon my blog, you can CLICK HERE to start from the beginning at Bloggabella.

Here's my contribution to today's hop. I made a "joy fold" card featuring the adorable Tiddly Inks Sending You Love image. The image is colored with Copic markers. I used my airbrush to add the sky and grass. I still need lots of practice with that sucker--LOL!

I used some two-toned red paper with stripes to cover the front and line the inside of the card. I machine stitched around the panel on the inside to add interest. To keep the card closed, I attached the sentiment panel with some foam tape. The image panel slips under the sentiment and can be slid out to reveal the message inside.

In addition to the fabulous eye candy, there's a prize hidden somewhere along the hop! One pre-selected blogger will draw a random winner from the comments on her post, and the winner will receive a $25 Gift Voucher to Stamping Bella!!! The fun part is...we're not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! The winner will be announced on Friday in the Splitcoast forum.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Now it's time to hop on over to Paula's to continue the hop.

  22. Hmm, a joy fold card turned that way. Why haven't I though of that. So many of my images would work better that way.
