Funky Inks Blog Hop

Hello :) and thank you so much for joining in the Funky Hand and Tiddly Inks Funky Inks blog hop....we have a veritable feast of inspiration using Anice's lovely papers and Christy's digis!


I am certainly incredibly excited to be involved! As a lover of all things digital this collaboration has meant you can go wherever your imagination lets you. So let’s see what I have created…



I have used the “You’ve Retired” palette from the Wishes andKisses CD-ROM from Funky Hand and the gorgeous “Always the Flower Girl” image from Tiddly Inks.

I have paper pieced the image by printing her onto the Funky Hand papers, then cutting her out and layering with foam pads. The image and the papers were a match made in heaven and I felt that the card didn’t need any further embellishment other than the simple sentiment.

You should have come via Lou Mac’s blog, but don’t worry if you haven’t. A full list of the blogs is as follows:

If you are just joining us. Just open a new window for each link (click CNTRL and the link to do this) and you can keep the main list up and navigate easily through the links.

So join in the hop as both Anice and Christy are offering a gorgeous prize from each of their stores. Too good to resist surely?! Also, you will be able to see that the only limit is your own imagination. And if you feel equally inspired to have a go, please share your gorgeous creations with us on the Funky Hand Facebook page.
And please leave me a comment before you pop on over to Maria, I’d love to know what you think of my card. Love as always. Sammylou xxx

  2. I love this card. Paper piecing the fab image is a wonderful idea and look great. I think you are right you didn't need loads of other things going on, on the card you have made it perfectly.
