Hanna Stamps Guest Designer!


I am so excited to tell you that I am Hanna Stamps Guest Designer for the month of May! Thank you so much Kristi and Vicki for this wonderful opportunity to play with your stamps!

This month Hanna Stamps are also having a Summer Retro month so as well as some cool new releases they will be revisiting some of their good old favourites! I will be here for the next 4 days showing you samples of new and old. I will also have more to show you throughout May!

The new stamps are released this coming Monday, 4th May! Be sure to come on over and join in the fun, chatter and chance of winning some sweet prizes over at Splitcoaststampers. The Release Party starts on Monday 9 - 11 pm EST!

For my card today I have used new Riley in a Sea Serpent Floatie. My cute little Riley is coloured with Prisma colour pencils with sansodor and paper stumps for blending. The papers used are from the Sunshine paper pad by Me and My Big Idea's. For my sand I tore up some sandpaper. Nestabilities used are circle, scalloped circle and labels one. I added a shell and some seaweed fibre to complete my beachy scene. The little sun sentiment is by Pink Cat Studio.

Here are the links to the talented Hanna stamps Design Team so you can check out their Sneak peaks! I can't wait to see too!

May Guest Designer: Pam Varnell
May Guest Designer: Nikki Fairbairn! :-)

See you again tomorrow!

Hugs,

Nikki ~ congrats on being picked as the guest designer for May :) This card is adorable and I love the scene you created.

I just read about your husband losing his job, and want to say that I'll be thinking about you and hope he finds something soon. Unfortunately, I know a lot of people that have lost their jobs in the past month :(

Take care :)

Joy said...

wonderful coloring and blending! I love to see your work...you are so detailed and your layouts I would never have thought of until I see yours =) I wanted to ask if it's easier to color with those prisma pencils and do you prefer it over copics or other things? and why? if you don't mind. TFS and have a wonderful Friday!
