True's Friends are INKY, SWIRLY and HOPPIN'!

Welcome to the Friends of True's Swirly Spring BLOG HOP! If you are here from Lydia's blog, you are in great shape! If you just happened across the Chronicles, you may want to head back to True's blog where all the magic begins! There will be a prize package donated by Inky Antics that includes True's entire, newly released, Swirly Spring stamp line - and by the time you're finished hoppin', I promise you are going to NEED those stamps!

I had the pleasure and fortune of receiving Swirly Butterflies in the mail, along with some coordinating papers, and I couldn't wait to get at them!  I'm sharing two cards with you today...  (click any of the images to enlarge)


LOVE colouring these flutters.  They're simple, the lines are so clean and easy, the quality is great and the impression is wonderful, and there's so much you can do with them!  I love the papers, too - they're bright and happy, and they just OOZE warm weather (of which we are experiencing NONE at the moment, thankyouverymuch).  I coloured both with Copics (for a change) - here are the cards, up close and personal:



You KNOW you want to colour them, too!  But don't take my word for it...  There are a TON of talented crafty folks in the hop list who had just as much fun working with these images (and sentiments! - the Swirly Butterflies set comes with 2 butterflies, 3 sentiments, and a little bouquet of flowers!), you're going to want to see what those OTHER folks have to say, too!  :D



I actually REALLY enjoyed my Copics for this little assignment:






And there you have it!  Whatcha think?  Leave me a comment below, and I promise to let True know about every single compliment she receives for these beautiful designs.  :D

Are you ready to continue along your journey?  Well here's your hop list, folks, in case you're like me and stink with the navigational skills...  It's so easy to click and get lost in the Blogosphere!  :)


Be sure to comment at each stop in order to increase your chances of winning the prize package. One lucky commenter from a randomly picked blog will win all 6 stamp sets! You have this weekend to make your way around all the stops, and leave your comments by Sunday night.  The winner will be announced on True's Blog on Monday, March 11th. From here, you're going to skip on over to Lovely Linda's blog... Tell her I said hello! :) And I know you're gonna LURRRRRVE what you see there!

Thanks for dropping by today, and I'll see you in 2 hours with another hop!
