 NOW it's MY TURN :) 

I have combined a few of my current favourites on this card.  I am re-smitten with this ORNATE BUTTERFLY, and my LASER PRINTER, and PURPLE accents, and PEARL STRING and ORGANZA and GLITTER,  and NEOCOLORII WATERCOLOR CRAYONS, and AURORA BOREALIS/Iridescent FLATBACK GEMS!  ... whew!!!!   I watercoloured the butterfly with the NeoColors as well as creating the background with them.  I glue pen'ed the light areas of the butterfly then added Glamour Dust.  The Aurora Borealis gems ... love them.. they go with everything and add a vintage flair... they remind me of my gramdma's vintage carnival glassware she kept in her china cabinet.  so pretty.

I hope you had fun HOPPING with us!  Thank you DT, Donna and Pizzazz Aplenty for a great HOP!

pppst.. don't forget to comment here to count as an entry :)  Have a great day and GOOD LUCK!

Here is an extra creation to lookee at!

I used a digital Blue "Alcohol Inked" frame from Custom Creations from Carol Ivy which is HERE.

I just have to show her product preview... these are so cool!

 The card front is actually 2 layers, I just cut the inside of the frame leaving a bit of a white margin. Carol's shadows look so real!  I added white pearl string, and organza mono edge ribbon ( Pizzazz Aplenty has them!) and I popped up the jug and a few of the tulips for a 3d look.  I used Staples Brochure & Flyer paper Matte for my prints.  The Tulip bouquet can be found in the Tulip Bouquet Pre-Coloured Set.  I wish tulips came blue like this in real life. LOL


Thanks so much for hopping with us!  I'll be back with a winner Saturday June 4th.  Good Luck!

 Here is our last Blog Hop pretty!

You've Been HUGGGGGGED!

This cutie was coloured with pencils.  I took a square of watercolour paper and went to town with red WC paints and twinkling H20's to get a nice glimmery hot red to match the girls dress then got wicked hand cramps punching out ALL THOSE flowers with a MS Hydrangea punch and a MS branch punch on green watercoloured paper.. I shaped all the flowers and added Viva Decor pearl pen to the centers.  I glued the large petals with silicone glue for extra depth and tacky glue for the rest. I even added flowers to her dress.  The heart is a scalloped heart cutting file that is part of a cutting file set you will see VERY SOON :)

OK your last special word and the last one to complete the secret phrase is "Love!" ( ... of course it is people ;)  )

ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS:


Once you have your phrase enter it at  fredshesaid.contest@gmail.com or clicky this EMAIL LINK  with BLOG HOP in the subject line, enter your secret phrase and your name. Please, one entry per person.


You will get a chance to win one of the following prizes:

1 winner of $25 GC to the Fred She Said STORE.

1 winner of $25 GC to CROP STOP.

***This blog hop contest closes Friday, Feb. 4 at midnight EST.

I hope you enjoyed this BLOG HOP... GREAT JOB DT!  I feel really loved now :)  Hope you do too!
