Banana Frog Blog Hop...

A big welcome to the first Banana Frog Blog Hop!! :) Take a look around all of the girls blogs for lots of motivation, inspiration and fabulous ideas on how to use these great stamps!
I made this birdhouse card and decorated it using the Cherry Blossom stamp from the Kawaii Kokeshi set. I stamped it in chocolate brown and dotted glossy accents before sprinkling with Baby Pink Flower Soft. Theres so many ways to use these stamps and the fan i used for the owl feathers the other day is in the same set :)

Take a look around the rest of the design team blogs, from here hop over to Julies blog and you will then be given a link of where to hop next :)

Thanks for taking part :)

EDITED TO ADD

Thank you so much for all the comments and visitors to my blog :) There have been a lot of comments about the Flowersoft product, i didnt even think to pop a link up so here goes....
This is a link to Crafters Companion - they currently have the flowersoft for sale, ive only just realised and please dont buy it all until ive checked out my basket!! LOL The one used on the above owl card is Soft Baby Pink, you need to empty it out of the tub it comes in and run it through your fingers to loosen it all up - i just popped mine straight into those plastic containers that are £1 for 10 or so. It lasts forever as you only need a little each time you use it! :)

Great use of flowersoft TFS

Lori aka Lo Lo said...

Beautiful! What a cute card. I luv how you used the flower soft. I bought the same colour but mine does not look the same colour as the flower soft on your card, which is light pink/white. Mine is the colour of the edit update of the lil round flower soft pic. Did I reiceve the wrong colour? Should I re-order the baby pink. I want the colour you used on your card/the colour that shows on the flower soft website but I don't want to order it and recieve the same peachy looking colour like the one and your edit pic.

xoxo,
Lori
