We are blog hopping today to reveal some absolutely gorgeous new images from Make It Crafty "
The Secret Garden Collection" that you will be able to incorporate with all of your favorite characters. They have been designed for ‘Spring and Love’ so they are perfect for Valentine’s Day, Anniversaries, Weddings, Friendships and more. Along the way you need to look for puzzle pieces. They won’t be on every post so you need to keep an eye out for them. The puzzle pieces make up one of the NEW images. At the end of the hop there will be an email form where you can submit your answer. This is so that your answer is private. All the correct answers will be placed into a draw in the order that they are received and random winners will be chosen. Also when you make it all the way to the end our big surprise will be revealed.
You should have arrived here from
Ruby's blog, if not return to
Zoe's blog and start at the beginning. For my post today, I have created a scene using 3 of the new images.
Using Adobe Photoshop Elements, I combined
Petals and Palings,
The Ivy Swing and
Daffodil Dell to create what I call My Secret Garden. Doesn't it look like a great place to relax. I printed the images onto Cryogen paper with my inkjet printer then used my Copic markers, a lot of Copic markers, lol. I airbrushed the sky and just a bit in the grass/dirt area. Finished size is 8.25" square.
But that is not the only way to win, there are SEVEN hidden prizes along the way that could be rubber or digital stamps so make sure you leave a comment as you hop to ensure you have a chance at winning additional prizes! Place our blog hop blinkie on your blog for even more chances to win! Make sure you comment on every post as we will randomly select a commenter from a random post and if they have the blinkie on their blog they will win a choice of one rubber stamp and one digi stamp from the new collection.
Over $200 Worth of Prizes to be Won!!
1st prize - Rubber Collection
2nd prize - Whole Digital Collection (10 digital stamps)
3rd Prize - Four digital Stamps from the collection
The hop will end Friday 24th and the main winners will be announced Christmas Day!
Random winners will be announced at a later date.
So now it is time to move on to
Sheila's blog. Before you go, don't forget to leave a comment and collect your puzzle piece. Good luck and enjoy the hop.
