Inky Impressions Sizzling Summer New Release Blog Hop

Hi all, hope you are all well, just a quick post from me to tell you about Nicole's fantastic new release of Inky Impressions Images, this has to be one of my favourate releases.  Christopher mowing reminds me of Morgan mowing the garden and Gardening Lili is a younger version of Rosanna and Sassy Lili is the now older version lol!  The DT have done some AMAZING Inspiration for you to grab a coffee or a glass of wine and hop lol!  I did mine today at work, was lucky the cycle time on the CNC was 8 mins so brightened my day up by hopping along when I could lol!

Soon off to take Rosanna to a party finishing at 10.30pm, better social life than me lol!  Just a shame her friends mostly live 40+ minutes away, off into the country tonight, would be nice if it wasn't raining and soon to be dark lol!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, happy crafting and hopping, take careX:)

The inside is a popped out birthday cake (sorry it is pink Sammi, can you believe I had no purple glitter paper or glitter!!!X().  I cut the candles and coloured the flame using copics.

Cupcake ribbon on the front and back from Crafty Ribbons.  Used glitter cardstock for the cake and SU glitter for the icing.

This is a 3d Birthday cake I made on the inside of the cake, all papers are DCWV The Sweet Glitter Stack and used Glitter for the icing and Stickles for the flame though it seems to blend in with the cupcakes lol!  The gorgeous cupcake ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.

This is how it looks on a book

As you can see I have used lots of kindyglitz, also Glimmer Misted the image with Dazzling Diamonds. (I'm just a little sparkly too lol!)  Special effects on the baubles, lights, eyes and heart on dress.

The papers are from Papermania Festive Frolics these are just the cutest of papers, here is the back of the bookmark
