Welcome to my Inky Friends blog hop! We are focused on the new Blends markers. You may be hopping around in order or backwards or just jumping in where you feel like it. It doesn't matter as we are all linked together so you will see everyone's awesome creations if you just keep clicking the links around! How fun is that?
If you are going in order, you would have come to me from
Staci where she featured the month of March. If you are going backwards, you would have found me from
Rhonda's May creations.
I have the month of April. In Wisconsin the month of April is usually cold and wet! Even with that as the weather, the birds are starting to come out. I love hearing them sing their wonderful songs! Because of that, I decided to use the stamp set Best Birds.
My first card is a sweet anniversary card. I colored the two birds and the branch with the Blends.
I wanted to use a little different color scheme with the next card. The Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie markers help to achieve this darling little birdie.
In Wisconsin, you can always tell spring is here when the robins start showing up! I created this card with the robins of spring in mind.
I couldn't resist doing a scrapbook layout with this set.
I have never used any alcohol markers before these Blends. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy they are to use! I was a bit apprehensive to give them a try and waited until the last minute to make anything for this hop. After I got started, I couldn't figure out why I was so scared of some markers! They worked wonderfully! Now I'm looking forward to using them some more!
April is the start of warming up and the wonderful birds start singing their songs again. I hope you enjoyed my creations inspired by April. Now I must send you off to see either what Staci has created for March with the previous button, or what Rhonda did for May with the next button!
Come back next week to see the close ups of the scrap pages and to get the recipes for creating these on your own!
Happy Stampin'!
