Happy Birthday: Whimsy June Release Showcase Day 7

Hi Everyone!  Today is the last day of the showcase by the design team and special guests featuring the newly released stamps, dies, and templates.  Each day of the mini hop has a prize hidden somewhere on one of the blogs so be sure to leave comments along the way.

(you can click on the photos for a larger version)

For my card today, I pulled out the cute Fluffy Hanging in There image from Sylvia Zet's Wee Stamps line.  I colored the image with copic markers and used some patterned papers from October Afternoon's Fly a Kite paper pad.  It's an older line, but still one of my favorites.  I added lots of stitching, some crocheted lace, carribean teal twine, and some paper roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.  See that great scalloped circle behind the image.  That's the Double Scallop Doily Die from Whimsy.  (I begged Ann to create a die like this and I just love it!!)  I'm also playing along witht the current Wild Orchid Crafts challenge which is Punch It Out (use punches or dies while creating your card).  The sentiment is from the Treasured Moments Tickets stamp set.

Tomorrow there will be a release round up post over on the Whimsy Blog.  Be sure to pop in to see if you're one of the lucky winners.  To be entered into today's mini blog hop prize draw, be sure to leave a comment on ALL of the DT posts listed below by 12:00PM EST tomorrow:
