Whimsy & Stars Studio February Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the February Whimsy and Stars Studio blog hop!   We are introducing two NEW February Digi releases, “Birthday Ladybug” and “You’re a Star”.    You have come here from the first stop on the hop, the Whimsy & Stars Studio blog.  If not, you might want to start at the beginning so that you don’t miss out on the DT’s gorgeous projects.  TWO random winners will be selected from the comments left during the hop to win ONE Whimsy and Stars Studio digi of their choice.  Be sure to leave a comment at each stop on the hop to increase your chances of winning.  The blog hop will run until Friday, February 8th, 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

For my card, I used the new image “You’re a Star”.  I thought she would make a fun birthday card.  Her    dress is paper pieced and shaded a bit with my Copics.
