#Spreadjoynotgerms blog hop

Welcome to the Spread Joy Not Germs blog hop.

Thanks to Catherine Pooler Designs and The Hedgehog Hollow for arranging this huge blog hop!  There are so many generous sponsors offering heaps of prizes so make sure you comment on as many blogs as you can for more chances of winning.  





For my first card I've used one of the new stamps sets from the
CAS-ual Fridays March release called 
"Terrific Flowers". I stamped the flowers with CP Ink "Twilight"
and coloured them in with Prisma pencils.
I die cut the "Hello" from the "Sweet Friend Fri-Dies" and coloured it grey to match my stamping.
I used the Skyscape Mini Cover Plate die from Catherine Pooler Designs and made the frame using the Totally Rad patterned paper also from Catherine Pooler Designs.





For my next card I used CAS-ual Fridays "Pretty Posies" and "Little Birdie" stamps sets along with the free download from 
Catherine Pooler.  I stamped the flowers onto watercolour card stock, painted them and die cut them with the matching Fri-Die.
I coloured the bird in with Prisma Pencils.

How cute is that Little Birdie!  He looks like he is singing that song!





We have another new release over at CAS-ual Fridays on April 19th and Michele is giving away the whole April collection to one lucky winner!  You can check out the fabulous prize at the CAS-ual Fridays blog here!
