Welcome to Jo's Scrap Shack's 5th blogaversary birthday celebration hop day 2!
In honor of celebrating 5 wonderful years, Jo has an amazing two day blog hop lined up with 18 talented designers, several sponsors, some of which; are among the top companies in the industry and lots of blog candy! So share this news with your crafty friends, grab your favorite beverage and hop along with us!
To start at the beginning of the hop, go visit Jo's Scrap Shack
You should have arrived here from Sherrie
I made a birthday card using a digital image from A Day for Daisies called "Butterfly Girl". It is very apt since this blog has given me wings. My blog was started in 2012 also after encouragement from Jo so we could share our creations and inspire one another which I am sure it has. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jo and your little Scrap Shack!!!!
My background is watercolored using Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colours. My image was coloured using Copic Markers. This was then cut out and pasted onto a yellow mat and then onto a teal mat cut out using my Scan N Cut. My sentiment was from my stash. I coloured it in sections to echo the watercoloring.
My nieces also got into the joy of creating with a little bit of help from Aunty Kellie and Nan.
