Lots of new stamp sets being released at Crafter's Companion this week (nine to be exact including a coordinating CD-Rom), so the US & UK Design Teams are joining to celebrate with an international blog hop. You can see all of the sets on the Crafter's Companion Blog.
And one lucky random commenter will be randomly picked from the commenters on the US Design Team Member Blogs to win a prize package that includes 4 EZ Mount sets including the adorable one I used for my card (worth $40). Sorry, this US prize is open to US residents only. You have until Wednesday, February 6 at 9:00 PM PST to leave your comments. The winner will be announced on the CC USA blog on Thursday.
I made a card with this adorable little ballerina Eleanor and my new Spectrum Noir markers (provided by Crafter's Companion). After watching just a few videos on coloring hair and skin, I was amazed and how my first coloring attempt turned out ... far from perfect, but most certainly getting there. I can't wait to continue to hone my coloring skills with these great markers.
I also tried out the Bow Pegs which are part of the Crafter's Companion Ultimate Tool and made it oh-so-easy to tie a perfect little bow to decorate my card. Here are the Spectrum Noir marker colors that I used for coloring my design.
This card is for my sweet little ballerina nieces ... love when I get to see them dance around. I hope they always follow their hearts and do what they love.
So here are the links to the hop ... get hopping & have fun!

I think the coloring looks great! But what I really love is how her left foot seems to curve over the bottom edge of the die cut-out, like a real ballet slipper. Cyndie
