Karen Burniston Brutus Monroe Blog Hop and Give Away

Welcome to the blog hop!  This A-2 card uses the Brutus Monroe Balloon Animal stamp set and the Karen Burniston, Snowman Twist Circle, Katherine Label and Outdoor Scene dies.  The background uses Distressed Oxide ink to make the sky and the balloons are colored with Copic.

The little piggy’s head is popped up on foam tape and the basket is accented with white gel pen.

Inside the Katherine Label moves the balloon across the page!  Obviously the Katherine Label die is one of my favorites and it is my give away today.  Leave a comment below for a chance to win a Katherine Label die of you own!  Winners will be selected on May 24th. And make sure to follow the hop for chances to win a die from all of the designers.  The next stop on this hop is the very talented and super sweet Kelly Booth!
