Cross-Canada Blog Hop for March

Bonjour / Hola / Hello,
Welcome to this month's Cross-Canada blog hop, featuring the 9 stamp sets that are available in French, Spanish and English. When you flip through the catalogues those stamps are identified with a World globe icon.

If you've arrived from Caroline's blog Caroline's Creations then you are in the right place!

I love that Close To My Heart now sells stamps in FRENCH !! Oui, oui, c'est vrai !

I chose to make two cards using the Finding the Words - French stamp set (D1646F). It has a whopping 34 words and images. And I chose the cheerful paper from Some Kinda Wonderful.
Finding the Words - French  (D1646F)

The first card I made is a BFF (Best Friends Forever) card because these little girls are soooo darling. They were easy to cut using the School Kids thincuts which come with a coordinating stamp set. The bundle is on sale this month 25% off. Oui c'est vrai !

Tip:
When colouring with alcohol markers, stamp your images using Memento ink so the black doesn't bleed.

The second card for this hop I made is a birthday card - Bonne Fête. the word fête is so cute and small that I stamped it several times across the pink band.

Tip: 
You can use the Shin Han alcohol markers to colour in the sequins too. The camera doesn't pick it up but they are now hot pink on both cards. A girl can never have enough pink or shimmery sequins right?

    Love the little amies (beautifully coloured) and the hot-pink B-day card. Using sentiment stamps to create patterned paper is brilliant.
