Without further ado, here is my card for the blog hop.

I got to play with the fabulous new Smooches script die! The first time that I saw this awesome sentiment in the Smooches stamp set, I thought that it would be great if it's also a stand alone die. Kim definitely is a genius! =)

This die is so versatile, you can use any image with it! I chose to ink up this adorable cutie from the Giddy Bugs set with Antique Linen Distress Ink. She is then colored with Copic markers then fussy cut out. There is a matching die set for this stamp if you are not a fussy cutting lover!

For the background, I die cut the brush strokes from the Paint Strokes Wise Die set using watercolor paper and added colors with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor. The Smooches die is also covered with a bit of subtle sparkle from a Clear Wink of Stella Brush Pen.

That's all I have. Don't forget to leave comments along the way for a chance to win! =)

Have fun hopping and good luck! =)
